This 2021 Evoque is a strong performer, passing its MOT first time in 92.1% of cases — well above the UK average of 80% — with only 9.7% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The diesel engine dominates this cohort and shows no reliability weakness compared to petrol alternatives.

With median mileage sitting at just 30,106 miles for a three-year-old car, these are relatively lightly used examples, which partly explains the high pass rate. The average vehicle has racked up only 0.22 failures per test and 1.7 advisories, suggesting electrical and sensor-related wear are the main concerns rather than structural or mechanical issues — if you're buying one, request full service history and have any advisory items inspected before purchase.

The 2021 Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn SE Dmhev A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.1% 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 93.1% 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 1,292 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.
