The 2021 Range Rover Evoque S D MHEV is a reliable performer, with a 91.5% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%. The dangerous defect rate of 10.6% is moderate and not a major concern—it's worth noting but shouldn't deter a serious buyer.

At 30,614 miles median age, these vehicles are running low for their age, which explains why they're sailing through MOT with an average of just 0.23 failures per car. The 1.6 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items are starting to appear, but nothing structural—if you're shopping for one, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on suspension and fluid seals is sensible precaution rather than urgent necessity.
