Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2 MOT pass rate & common failures
7,157 MOT tests on the Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2 (2019–2022) give it an 87.7% pass rate. That is 2.7 percentage points worse than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 9.5%. Its most common failure areas are emissions & environmental, tyres and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — emissions & environmental (6.1%) and tyres (4.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are malfunction indicator lamp, on or after 01/01/2014 and tread depth — malfunction indicator lamp alone was recorded 312 times.
A 60-90k example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 19.4% versus 10.6%.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 22.5% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2
- Emissions & environmental (6.1% of tests): More common on older diesels (DPF/EGR) — can be expensive; check for warning lights and smoke. Typical repair: £100–£600.
- Tyres (4.7% 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 (2.1% 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.
