Moderate sample. 374 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2021 Evoque diesel is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a 90% first-time pass rate compared to the national 80%, and only 11% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below concern level. The diesel variant dominates the sample and delivers consistent results, so fuel choice isn't a reliability differentiator here.

At under 30,000 miles median age, these cars are still relatively young, yet they're already averaging 0.23 failures per vehicle, suggesting the mechanical basics are holding up well. With 1.7 advisories per car on average, you're looking at minor wear items rather than structural problems—typical for a premium SUV at this mileage. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the hybrid electrical system and transmission, as these components aren't yet showing failure patterns in the MOT data but represent the highest-risk areas on a vehicle of this specification.

The 2021 Land Rover R Rover Evoque A Bio D MHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 92.7% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.7 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 374 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
