2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque — MOT failures & pass rate
3,059 MOT tests on the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque are in this dataset, and 91.9% of them passed. That is 1.5 percentage points worse than small SUVs of a similar age, which fail at 6.6%. Failures cluster in tyres, lighting & signalling and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
One area stands out: tyres, recorded in 5.8% of tests against 1.5% for the next-worst category.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, headlamp aim and brake pads — tread depth alone was recorded 36 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 6.5% in the 0-30k band and 15.0% in the 60-90k band, a 8.5-point spread — more than double.
Fuel type barely separates them — diesel fails 7.9% of the time against 8.5% for hybrid.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 16.8% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 Range Rover Evoque
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 5.8% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (5.8% 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 (1.5% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (1.2% 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.
