2013 Lexus GS: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 87% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 1,054 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Hybrid 90% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 660 MOTsSee the hybrid guide ›

Diesel versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
