Our Verdict

We strongly recommend avoiding this 2013

Given the extensive failure list from August 2026, any prospective buyer should insist on seeing evidence that all six defects have been rectified with corresponding invoices before proceeding. The missing prop shaft issue is particularly noteworthy — this means the vehicle was running in two-wheel drive at the time of test, which raises questions about whether four-wheel-drive functionality has been compromised or intentionally disconnected. Budget at least £1,500-£2,500 for remedial work covering brake discs and pads all round, exhaust centre pipe repair, headlamp bulb replacement, and fuel tank surround assessment.

When viewing, verify the four-wheel-drive system operates correctly by checking for propshaft presence and engaging terrain response modes if possible. The 2.2-litre diesel engine is known to require attention to timing chains, EGR valves, and oil seals at high mileages, so a compression test and oil analysis would be prudent. Ask specifically about the history of the rear fuel tank mounting corrosion noted in the 2026 test, as this could indicate longer-term underbody neglect. Given the mileage, also budget for replacement tyres, suspension bushes, and anti-roll bar links which commonly wear on this model.

The 2.2-litre diesel Evoque typically returns 40-50 mpg in real-world driving, though high-mileage examples like this one often see economy drop into the mid-30s. Road tax for a 2013 diesel of this engine size falls into a higher bracket, and from 2026 onwards additional charges may apply for diesel vehicles in clean air zones such as London's ULEZ. Insurance sits in group 30-33, which is relatively expensive for a compact SUV.

Annual maintenance costs for high-mileage Evoques routinely exceed £800 due to the complexity of the four-wheel-drive system, diesel emissions equipment, and premium parts pricing. With 150,000 miles on the clock, major items including clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and timing chain replacement become increasingly likely. We would estimate annual running costs of £2,200-£2,800 including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance for this vehicle.

The 2026 MOT failure specifically flagged front brake discs worn and pitted, rear brake pads below 1.5mm, and a nearside rear brake disc significantly worn — a buyer must physically inspect all four discs and pads, measuring disc thickness against manufacturer minimums. The corroded rear fuel tank metal surround requires close visual inspection from underneath to assess whether it remains structurally sound or has spread to other underbody areas. The offside front headlamp main beam failure should be checked by switching to main beam during the viewing.

Inspect the propshaft presence and condition carefully, including universal joints and centre bearing, as the 2026 test recorded it as missing. Examine the centre exhaust pipe and mounting hanger for signs of recent repair or continued deterioration. Beyond MOT items, the 2.2-litre diesel should be checked for timing chain noise on cold start, excessive smoke, and oil consumption. The nine-speed automatic gearbox (if fitted) should be test-driven extensively to confirm smooth changes, as this transmission is a known source of expensive repairs on the Evoque. Underneath, look for corrosion on rear axle, suspension arms, and exhaust downpipe — all common weak points on this model at this age and mileage.

This blue 2.2-litre diesel Range Rover Evoque, first registered in June 2013, has accumulated 150,191 miles across five recorded MOT tests, of which two resulted in failures. The 2026 MOT failure was particularly concerning, listing six defects spanning braking, exhaust, lighting, drivetrain, and structural areas. Mileage is significantly above the model average of 7,425 miles per year, with this vehicle averaging around 11,500 miles annually. Combined with the failure pattern and high mileage, the data profile presents considerable buyer risk.

Across 139,486 Range Rover Evoque examples analysed, the model achieves an 86.0% MOT pass rate, with brake discs, tyres, and headlamps being the most common failure items — all of which feature in this vehicle's history. The 2.2-litre diesel variant has a mixed reputation for timing chain and dual-mass flywheel issues at high mileages.
