Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn A MOT pass rate & common failures
1,218 MOT tests on the Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn A (2020–2023) give it a 92.4% pass rate. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (8.3% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Its most common failure areas are tyres, lighting & signalling and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
Tyres dominates the failure mix at 6.4% of all tests — 5.0 points clear of lighting & signalling, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, wipers and washers — headlamp aim alone was recorded 19 times.
Split by fuel, hybrid examples fail 1.9pp more often than petrol ones (8.7% vs 6.8%) — worth weighing if you have a choice.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 14.4% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 1.7% of tests failed in 2023 against 8.5% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn A
- Tyres (6.4% 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.
- Lighting & signalling (1.4% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Visibility (1.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
