Range Rover Evoque D 4x2: above-average pass rates, with caveats
Across 1,531 MOT tests, the Range Rover Evoque D 4x2 returns 85.0% first-time pass — above the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is tyre tread under the limit. The engine warning light staying lit and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 27,667, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
