2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

CarHunch analysed 17,043 real MOT records for the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2014 Range Rover Evoque passes its MOT at 85.5%, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, but a significant 41.1% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their testing history—a concerning figure that suggests structural, brake, or suspension issues are not uncommon. This is a real buyer alert: while the overall pass rate looks solid, one in every two-and-a-half of these cars has shown a serious safety problem at some point.

At a median mileage of 60,013 for a 2014 model, these Evoques are running relatively light, yet they average 1.61 failures and 9.6 advisories per test cycle, pointing to wear on consumables and minor components rather than catastrophic problems. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically examines the suspension, brakes, and underbody for corrosion—the advisory count suggests these are the weak spots on this generation.

What to check before buying a 2014 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.
  • ⚠️ 41.1% 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.
