This 2018 Range Rover Evoque diesel is notably less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 69.7% against the national 80%—meaning roughly three in ten examples fail their MOT on the first attempt. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern concern.

At around 48,900 miles median, these vehicles are running relatively low mileage for their age, yet still producing failures, which suggests inherent durability issues rather than wear-and-tear abuse. The minimal advisory count (0.0 per vehicle) indicates problems tend to be outright failures rather than building warnings, so if you're buying one, budget for a thorough pre-purchase inspection and expect potential repair bills within the first year of ownership.
