Recall: 48-volt mild-hybrid electrical overload
On Evoques and Discovery Sports built from May 2018 to October 2020, an electrical overload in the 48-volt mild-hybrid system could make a power transistor fail. A software update prevents it.
Applies to: Range Rover Evoque and Discovery Sport built 25 May 2018 – 2 October 2020 (R/2020/322)
Mild-hybrid models only; DVLA often records a mild hybrid as plain petrol or diesel. A Land Rover retailer can confirm from the VIN whether this car was included.

Recall: turbo oil feed pipe can loosen and leak (2.0 diesel)
On diesel cars with the AJ21-D4 engine built from late 2019 to 2024, the turbocharger's oil feed pipe can loosen over time and leak oil. Dealers fit new O-rings and an extra clamp.
Applies to: Diesel Evoque, Discovery Sport and Velar built January 2020 – September 2024 (R/2024/113); Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace and F-Pace built November 2019 – July 2024 (R/2024/207)

Recall · Jaguar Land RoverHybrid & electric drive
Recall: plug-in hybrid may lose power when the battery runs low
On plug-in hybrid Evoques, Discovery Sports and E-Paces built from late 2021, a software fault in the power inverter can stop the petrol engine restarting as the battery runs down in electric mode, so the car loses power without warning. A software update, at a dealer or over the air, fixes it.
Applies to: Plug-in hybrid Evoque and Discovery Sport built November 2021 – July 2025 (R/2025/280) and E-Pace built November 2021 – October 2024 (R/2025/281)

Recall: plug-in hybrid battery fire risk
A small number of four-cylinder plug-in hybrids built from 2020 have suffered thermal overload in the high-voltage battery under the rear of the car, which can cause smoke or fire. The root cause was still being investigated; dealers inspect the cars and replace at-risk battery packs.
Applies to: Plug-in hybrid Evoque, Discovery Sport, Defender and Velar built July 2020 – April 2025 (R/2025/553); E-Pace and F-Pace built November 2020 – July 2024 (R/2025/555)

If it has the 2.0 Ingenium diesel (204DT / AJ200D): 2.0 Ingenium diesel: timing chains stretch and can fail
The 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel used across Land Rover and Jaguar from 2015 has a reputation for its timing chains stretching early. The first sign is usually a metallic rattle on a cold start, sometimes with a reduced-performance warning; left alone, the chain can jump or break and wreck the engine. Specialists link it to fuel-diluted oil from unfinished DPF regenerations and long service intervals, and replace the chains, guides and tensioners together (one specialist quotes about £2,000). There was no recall.
Applies to: 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel (2015 on) in the Evoque, Discovery Sport, Discovery 5, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Defender, Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace and F-Pace
Applies to the 2.0-litre diesel only, and is reported mostly on earlier engines. DVLA records the capacity (1,999cc) but not the engine family; on these models that capacity is the Ingenium. Many engines with regular oil changes never suffer it.

If it has the 2.0 Ingenium diesel (204DT / AJ200D): 2.0 Ingenium diesel: DPF blockage and fuel diluting the oil
The diesel particulate filter on the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel struggles to clean itself on cars used for short trips. When a regeneration is cut short, extra fuel washes into the sump and thins the oil, which is blamed for faster timing-chain and turbo wear. Owners see DPF and engine warning lights or reduced power, and the service light can come on early. Longer runs, finishing regenerations and more frequent oil changes are the usual advice; a blocked filter needs a forced regeneration, cleaning or replacement.
Applies to: 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel (2015 on) in the Evoque, Discovery Sport, Discovery 5, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Defender, Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace and F-Pace

If it has the 2.0 Ingenium diesel (204DT / AJ200D): 2.0 Ingenium diesel: early turbocharger failure
Turbochargers on the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel can fail well before old age. Signs are a whistle that rises with engine speed, smoke, or a sudden loss of power with a reduced-performance warning. Specialists tie many failures to oil problems, including fuel-diluted oil from repeated DPF regenerations, and flush the oil system when fitting a new turbo so it does not fail again.
Applies to: 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel (2015 on), reported on the Jaguar XE and F-Pace and the Range Rover Evoque (both generations) and Velar

Measured at MOT: how a 2022 Range Rover Evoque fails more often

Based on 25,957 first MOT tests of this model at 4 years old (cars first used 2020–2021), compared against every car of the same age and fuel.

Nothing stands out. No category fails clearly more often on this model than on cars of the same age and fuel.

How to read this

These are MOT outcomes for other cars of the same model, age and fuel — not a prediction about this one, and not a fault diagnosis. A high rate means the category is worth checking, not that this car has a problem.

A comparison is only shown where it survives its own margin of error. Where a model is only slightly above average, both rates are shown and no multiple is given, because the data cannot tell the difference.

MOT results reflect how a car has been used and maintained as much as the model itself. High mileage, short journeys and deferred servicing all show up here.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Failure rates derived by FindServiceHistory from the DVSA anonymised MOT test and failure-item extracts.

Recall: engine wiring harness can chafe, engine may cut out
On Evoques and Discovery Sports built from July to October 2015, an engine wiring harness could chafe and cause the engine to malfunction or, in extreme cases, cut out. A first fix (R/2015/235) was later found not to last, so a second recall (R/2016/302) inspects and repairs the harness and fits a new bracket.

How to read this

MOT results reflect how a car has been used and maintained as much as the model itself. High mileage, short journeys and deferred servicing all show up here.

These describe the model, not one car: how vehicles are used and maintained shows up as much as how they were built. Differences are the conservative end of a 95% confidence interval.

These describe the model, not one car. Plenty of cars never have the problems their model is known for, and a recall may already have been done on yours. Every problem links to its sources; a reported problem needs two independent publishers before we list it.

Recalls are listed by DVSA for the model around its build date — check a specific car by VIN at GOV.UK. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Common questions

What are the most common Range Rover Evoque problems?

For cars built from 2012, the problems at least two independent publishers report include: Evoque Mk2: electrical glitches and infotainment faults; 2.0 Ingenium diesel: timing chains stretch and can fail; 2.0 Ingenium diesel: DPF blockage and fuel diluting the oil; 2.0 Ingenium diesel: early turbocharger failure; Evoque Mk1: electrical faults, air-con and sat-nav. Which apply depends on the generation and engine — they are listed generation by generation above, each with its sources.

Has the Range Rover Evoque been recalled?

Yes. DVSA lists recalls for the Range Rover Evoque built from 2012, shown above by generation. A recall covers a range of chassis numbers, so not every car is affected — check a specific car by VIN on GOV.UK, or by registration with our checker.

Does my Range Rover Evoque have these problems?

Not necessarily. These describe the model; many cars never have them, and a well-maintained car is less likely to. Enter your registration above to see the problems for your exact generation and engine, and whether DVSA records an outstanding recall on it. Whether a known problem was fixed is what a service history check shows.

Has this Range Rover Evoque had the work done?

A known problem matters far less on a car whose dealer records show it was fixed. A service history check returns the manufacturer's own dealership records for a specific car — and there's no charge if we find nothing.
