Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring issues with wheels and brakes. While the mileage is low, the MOT history shows a consistent pattern of wear and minor damage that requires physical inspection.
When viewing this Evoque, pay close attention to the condition of the alloy wheels. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of distorted or damaged rims across multiple years (2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025). Ensure there is no significant kerbing or structural damage to the wheels that could affect tyre seating or ride quality.
Secondly, verify the recent work done on the braking system. The records show brake discs being noted as worn, pitted, or scored in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Confirm that the discs and pads have been replaced recently rather than just being monitored as advisories. Given the 2.0L petrol engine, ensure the service history supports the maintenance of the turbocharger and cooling systems, even though these are not explicitly mentioned in the MOT data.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than the diesel counterparts typically seen in this model range. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a premium compact SUV.
Insurance groups for the Evoque tend to be mid-to-high, and maintenance costs can be significant due to the premium parts required for Land Rover vehicles. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is expected to be in the mid-to-high range for this vehicle class.
Focus your inspection on the wheels and tyres. The MOT history specifically mentions distorted road wheels (2021) and damaged rims (2022, 2024, 2025), as well as sidewall damage to the front tyres in 2024. Check all four alloys for deep gouges or bends.
Inspect the braking components thoroughly. With 'pitted or scored' brake discs appearing in almost every annual MOT record since 2021, you should check for any signs of vibration under braking or unusual noises. Finally, check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues stemming from the previously noted wheel distortions.
This 2016 white Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has covered 38,915 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,411 miles per year. However, the MOT history from 2021 to 2025 shows frequent advisories and minor failures related to brake discs, tyres, and wheel rim damage. The vehicle has passed every MOT test to date, but the frequency of component wear is notable.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.1% MOT pass rate, with brake discs, tyres, and headlamps being the most common reasons for issues.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Transfer Box / PTU FailureSerious
The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) can fail or leak, leading to expensive driveline repairs.
- Ingenium Timing Chain Wear (The "Slap")Serious
The 2.0 diesel engine suffers from timing chain stretch, often known as "timing chain slap". This is accelerated by oil dilution reaching the 6-7% threshold, which degrades lubrication.
- Door Lock Actuator FailuresModerate
The door lock actuators fail intermittently, causing doors to unlock spontaneously or refuse to lock. A common and annoying electrical fault.
