The 2017 Range Rover Evoque HSE DYN TD4 A is struggling with MOT reliability, passing first time in only 60.7% of cases against the UK average of 80%—a significant gap that suggests electrical or mechanical issues are common in this cohort. The good news is that no vehicles have recorded dangerous defects, and advisories are virtually non-existent, so when failures do occur they're typically fixable rather than safety-critical.

At around 60,000 miles, these examples are showing typical mileage for their age, yet the 0.16 average failures per vehicle indicates recurring problems that buyers should investigate closely on any used example. Request the full MOT history before purchase and budget for preventative work, particularly focusing on the electrical systems and engine bay—this will help you avoid joining the 39% who fail their first MOT resit.
