Land Rover R R Evoque R-Dyn D A MOT pass rate & common failures
The Land Rover R R Evoque R-Dyn D A appears in 2,409 MOT tests spanning model years 2020–2023, and 91.8% of them passed. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (8.4% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Its most common failure areas are tyres, brakes and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
Tyres dominates the failure mix at 5.5% of all tests — 3.8 points clear of brakes, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, brake pads and registration plates — headlamp aim alone was recorded 36 times.
A 60-90k example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 20.0% versus 6.2%.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 14.3% of tests without failing them.
The trend is improving — the fail rate fell from 10.1% in 2023 to 8.3% in 2025, as the worst-kept examples leave the fleet.

What to check before buying a Land Rover R R Evoque R-Dyn D A
- Tyres (5.5% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (1.7% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Lighting & signalling (1.5% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
