2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

CarHunch analysed 13,618 real MOT records for the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2013 Range Rover Evoque passes its MOT at 84.2%, which beats the UK average of 80%, but here's the serious concern: 43.9% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd want to see. Petrol models do slightly better at 87.5% pass rate versus 84.1% for the far more common diesels, though the dangerous defect issue affects both.

At 66,744 miles average, these Evoques are running higher than typical for their age, which partly explains why they're picking up 1.97 failures and 11.5 advisories per test. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension, brakes, and electrical systems—the advisory count suggests wear is widespread—and factor in realistic servicing costs for a vehicle that's clearly being used hard.

What to check before buying a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

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.
  • ⚠️ 43.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
