I have a 64 plate sd4 dynamic, i have put 50k + on my 2.2 d. Only issues i ever had are all tech issues, never mechanical. Door lock failed and the rear camera. Otherwise this has been the most reliable car i ever owned. Its now sat at 102k and still running strong.

Hi Grant, I bought a 2013 Evoque 2.2 diesel Evoque with only 32000 miles on it 3years ago and apart from consumables it’s been spot on! It’s now got 64000 miles and drive it hard and had no bother with it! I actually prefer driving it to my 2023 Honda CRV hybrid!(Over the Cairn o Mount it leaves the Honda for dead!) Great vid as usual!👍👏👏👏❤️

I have had my face lift Range Rover evoque for 6 years now I tow a caravan and a small yacht with it done over 60k miles with it and it’s never missed a beat I change the oil every 6 months and have a full service annually other than the odd niggle it has been totally reliable I have owned BMWs in the past and the evoque hasn’t been any more unreliable than them I think regular services premium fuel is a great help in keeping any car reliable as for the timing chain problem bmw have the same type of set up just look on the forums and see how many failures they have had 20k miles is too long on any car for oil changes look after your engine and change it every 6k done this for the last 40 years and had cars do in excess of 200k

Ours is a 2015 2.2 SD4 Dynamic manual. Now 118k miles. Tailgate cracking fixed under warranty. For Haldex cars the rear diff input bearing is too small and can become noisy - not great but a few companies doing re-con jobs at good value and service Haldex too, which is difficult but needs it every 40k miles or so in theory. Steering rack use of aluminium bolts was the main issue on pre 17 cars (could break leaving you with NO steering), now subject to a recall, and done very efficiently but my local dealer, which is excellent. Pre-16 older nav systems / infotainment is a bit rubbish and shuts down occasionally / steering wheel buttons for it get "confused". That all said, very happy with the car for the last 9 years and no plans to sell, still on original brake discs (and only a few sets of pads), tyres last 40k miles per set, cheap service parts (as I guess so many of them), agree the car does drive, ride and handle surprisingly well (ours has the mag ride, which is excellent too) - my other was was a Lotus Elise R for 12 years until a few months ago, so I have a pretty good reference point.

Little anecdote for you here. Eldest lad went for an interview for an apprenticeship at our local Land Rover dealership. He was getting on well and having a bit of banter with the Service Manager, when he asked a question about what his typical day at work would be like. The Manager answered, "You'll always be working on these as they're always going wrong!". Needless to say it didn't inspire him with confidence!

There is also a common and know issue with tailgate hinges. Same hinge is used on manual and electric tailgates but the weight on the electric tailgate is heavy and the hinges crack and the tailgate drops and starts to cause other damage. Same issue on Discovery 5.

I was going to buy a Vogue but decided on a 2013 5n2 vw Tiguan 4motion with 44k miles on the clock and full vw service history instead. At 58k miles i replaced the tryes like for like. Mitchellin latitude cross and there's now 81k miles on the clock and in 11yrs the car has had zero mechanical/electrical issues as the service history shows..Think i made the right choice..

If the timing chain stretches, or the plastic chain guide breaks, or diesel gets into the oil, or some of the gearboxes don’t go into drive, Land Rover should feel embarrassed about getting those things wrong. Spend time and money on re-engineering those parts so they can be fixed at the next service. It’s all about reliability and brand reputation. It helps the owners and builds confidence in future buyers that they’ll put right things they got wrong. And builds a reputation (that they should be aiming for) that these things are rugged and very reliable.

I have a evoque 2015 with the 9 speed ZF and the Ford td4 2.2 engine. I have always had a problem with the backdoor. When the car is locked I can still Open the door and the alarm will start. Recently from about two weeks ago I got a warning about reduced driving only 2 wheel drive. My car has been good taken care of and never driven hard. It has only made 8600 Swedish miles. I have an appointment at the mechanic next week we will see what the problem is. I’m not taking it to landrover service just talking with them made me afraid of the costs they said it could get up to if it is the oil pump for Haldex that is broke. I’m taking it to a private mechanic’s

The Land/Range Rovers products are beautiful, drive very well and perform for what they were intended. Jaguar are well, nothing these days. Honestly if I had the money to waste and wanted a luxury vehicle… I’m gonna go a Land/Range Rover over a Mercedes or BMW any day. They’re all crap, but the Land/Range Rover’s use real leather and better materials.

Before facelife Evoques have a severe problem with the tank shield: it rusts away in just 6 years. All LandRover have a severe problem with LandRover repair shops: they charge 3 times as much as cheap brands, for no better work. And LandRover tries everything to make it impossible for independent shops, they even changed the maintanance reset procedure because the old way leaked to the public. Buy an OBD tool. So LandRover is an evil company to deal with but be lucky that it is an Evoque, not a Discovery or Range, they are overly complicated, go to trash if something failes. Never buy an ingenium engine, the balance shaft bearings are bad and must be replaced or the engine fails completley. The old 2.2 was reliable, but the 6-speed automatic transmission from Ford was worse than the 9-speed ZF. Change the oil of Haldex at 50000mi, otherwise you get problems with 4x4. The 150HP ED2 gives the same agility and acceleration as the 190HP TD4 because the later one in heavier.
