Across 30,849 MOT tests of the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque L551 (2019–2025) in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 12.5% failed — about 1 in 8. The parts that fail most are tyres (6.1% of tests), exhaust, fuel and emissions (2.2%), lights and electrics (1.7%), suspension (1.2%) and wipers, windscreen and mirrors (1.2%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Range Rover Evoque L551 has 4% more MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage. That puts it last of the two Land Rover Range Rover Evoque generations on MOT results; the Range Rover Evoque L538 (2011–2019) does best.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
