Diesel against the other Land Rover Range Rover Evoque versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 84.3% | 128,223 |
| Petrol | 88.3% | 3,497 |
| All Land Rover Range Rover Evoque | 84.4% | 131,752 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Diesels carry DPFs, EGR valves and stricter smoke limits, so emissions and exhaust faults account for failures petrol cars never see.
On the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque specifically, petrol is the strongest at 88.3%, and this diesel version sits 0.1 points below the 84.4% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average diesel Land Rover Range Rover Evoque had covered 73,787 miles at test, against 53,471 for the petrol. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
