Our Verdict
This 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque diesel is a reasonable buy if priced correctly, but budget for immediate tyre and possible suspension checks. Its MOT history is mostly clean aside from one 2022 failure, so caution rather than avoidance is warranted.
When viewing this Evoque, ask for proof that the July 2022 suspension arm ball joint failure was properly repaired, as a repeated worn ball joint can indicate neglected suspension wear or poor-quality parts. The most recent MOT in June 2025 noted both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge, so negotiate a discount or replacement tyres into the deal. Given no aggregate model reliability data is available, lean on a full service history to confirm the 2,179cc diesel engine and running gear have been maintained to schedule.
As a 2013 diesel SUV with a 2.2-litre engine, this Evoque will typically sit in a higher Vehicle Excise Duty band than smaller cars and may incur ULEZ or clean-air charges depending on the area, though specific tax data is not provided. Insurance groups for Evoques of this era are generally mid-to-high, reflecting repair costs and theft rates. Routine maintenance such as tyres, brakes, and diesel servicing will be above average for a family hatchback; we estimate annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical upkeep at £1,400-£1,800.
The July 2022 MOT failure for 'Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn' should be physically checked even though it passed on re-test the same day — inspect both front lower arms and ball joints for play, cracking, or uneven tyre wear that hints at recurring issues. The June 2025 test flagged nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge, so examine all four tyres for tread depth and edge wear, and check wheel alignment. As a 2013 black diesel example, also look over bodywork for stone chips and check the DPF and turbo behaviour on a warm test drive, though no related defects appear in the MOT record.
The vehicle (L555AAG) is a black 2.2-litre diesel Evoque first registered in March 2013 and has covered 68,355 miles as of its latest MOT in June 2025. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 6,000 miles over the last four tests, which is modest for a 13-year-old SUV. The only MOT failure on record was in July 2022 for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was rectified and the car passed the same day.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, so this assessment relies solely on the individual vehicle's test history.
