2019 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2 — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2019 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2 passed 87.3% of its 2,918 recorded MOT tests. That is 2.5 percentage points worse than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 10.2%. Failures cluster in emissions & environmental, tyres and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — emissions & environmental (6.1%) and tyres (5.1%) 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 117 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 10.9% in the 0-30k band and 19.1% in the 60-90k band, a 8.2-point spread.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 23.5% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is worsening — 11.7% of tests failed in 2022 against 14.5% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2019 R Rover Evoque R-Dyn S D 4X2
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: emissions & environmental accounted for 6.1% of tests. Start there.
- 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 (5.1% 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 (2.2% 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.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
