In 2025, 129,792 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque cars had a regular MOT in Great Britain. 80% passed first time, compared with 73% for all cars of the same ages, which makes the Range Rover Evoque better than average. Adjusted for age, it ranks 23 of the 217 most-tested car models.
That comparison matters: older cars fail more often, so a raw pass rate flatters models that are mostly young. We compare each model against every car on the road at the same age.

What to check when buying a used Range Rover Evoque
Based on where the Range Rover Evoque fails more often than other cars, these are the checks worth making before you buy:
- Road wheels: Look for damaged rims and missing wheel nuts. More
- Tyres: Check tread across the whole width (uneven wear hints at alignment or suspension faults), and look for cuts, bulges and mismatched brands. Repair guide
- Emissions and leaks: Look for oil and coolant leaks underneath, listen for exhaust blows on a cold start, and watch for smoke when revving. Repair guide
Then check the individual car: its own MOT history will show whether it follows the pattern. A car with repeated advisories in the same weak area is more likely to fail its next test.
