Range Rover Evoque R-Dyn Se A: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 1,555 MOT tests, the Range Rover Evoque R-Dyn Se A returns 90.4% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a seriously damaged tyre. A tyre with the cords showing and a seriously damaged tyre round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 21,870, 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.

Buying or keeping a Range Rover Evoque R Dyn SE A?

Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.

If you own a Range Rover Evoque R Dyn SE A and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
