AVOID These 7 Diesels in UK (And 3 That Beat the Petrol)

Do diesels really die young? We followed every car first registered in 2010 that passed its first MOT in 2013, using the DVSA's own MOT records, to see how many of those same cars were still passing in 2023. Overall, 81 in every 100 petrols and 69 in every 100 diesels. But diesels do far more miles. Compare cars that had done the same mileage by their first MOT and the gap shrinks to three points, with London taken out too. Except for these seven diesels, which lasted far worse than their own petrol versions, and three cars where the diesel won.
