Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: no years to avoid

Based on 133,495 real MOT tests from DVSA records. Each year is compared against every other car first registered the same year — otherwise the numbers would only tell you that older cars fail more, which you knew.

The short answer

No model year stands out as one to avoid. Every year sits within 15% of the failure rate for cars of the same age. The 2011 is the strongest, failing 32% less often than average.

How this is worked out

Every MOT test recorded by DVSA in 2023 on a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, grouped by the year the car was first registered. Retests are excluded, so a car that failed and was fixed still counts as a failure. Each year's rate is then divided by the rate for all cars first registered that year — so 120 means 20% more failures than its contemporaries, not 20% more than a brand new car.
