2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
CarHunch analysed 23,837 real MOT records for the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Range Rover Evoque passes its MOT first time at 89.9%, well above the UK average of 80%, which is genuinely strong for a premium SUV of this age. However, nearly 1 in 4 vehicles (24.8%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a significant safety concern worth investigating on any used example—check the full MOT history carefully before buying.
At 44,728 miles median mileage, these cars are running low for a seven-year-old model, suggesting many owners take good care of them. The average 0.78 failures per vehicle is respectable, but the 6.7 advisories per car hint at minor wear across electrics, suspension, and trim—budget for small fixes alongside major services when you buy one.
What to check before buying a 2017 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.
