Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure Sd4 (2012)
2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure Sd4
CarHunch analysed 110 real MOT records for the 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure Sd4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2012 Range Rover Evoque Pure SD4 has a first-time pass rate of 73.8%, which sits noticeably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these diesel-powered vehicles are more prone to MOT failures than typical cars of this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so while you'll likely encounter maintenance issues, you won't be facing safety-critical problems on the road.
These Evoques are running at roughly 104,000 miles on average, which is high for a 2012 model but reasonable given the vehicle's capable build. With an average of 0.85 failures per car and no advisories recorded, the failures tend to be genuine faults rather than wear warnings—budget for repairs before test time, and have any prospective purchase thoroughly inspected by a diesel specialist, as the SD4 engine can be costly to fix if neglected.
What to check before buying a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure Sd4
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
