Range Rover Evoque Hse D Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 680 MOT tests, the Range Rover Evoque Hse D Auto returns 89.1% 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 windscreen damage round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 26,069, 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.
