This 2021 Evoque diesel is a strong performer, passing its MOT on first attempt 91.3% of the time — well above the UK average of 80%. Only 10.9% have ever had a dangerous defect recorded, which is reassuringly low and suggests the model is mechanically sound from a safety perspective.

At just under 32,000 miles on average, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which explains the low failure rate of 0.23 per vehicle. The typical advisory count of 1.6 per car reflects minor wear items rather than serious issues, so if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on service history and suspension condition rather than expecting major structural problems.

The 2021 Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn S D MHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93% 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 93% 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 1.6 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 1,468 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.
