Verdict

Good choice, check first

A compact SUV with very good crash protection (5 Euro NCAP stars in 2011), but Autocar considers it not very reliable and advises paying more for a car with a full service history. The weak points are the 9-speed automatic gearbox (software) and, on the 2.0 Ingenium diesel introduced in 2015, the timing chain and the particulate filter.

Known faults

2.0 Ingenium diesel timing chain

Severity 2/3 · Costly

Autocar reports a weak timing chain on the 2.0 diesel, "much less reliable" than the older 2.2. Car Checker also lists timing chain and oil dilution problems on the 2.0 TD4. A stretched chain can damage the engine; a rattle is a warning sign.

9-speed automatic gearbox: harsh shifts and software

Severity 1/3 · Annoying

The 9-speed ZF gearbox (from late 2013) can shift abruptly, hesitate when pulling away or hesitate between gears. Land Rover released software updates for the gearbox control unit on 2014-2015 Evoques (NHTSA bulletins); Autocar notes that automatic gearbox problems are fairly common, ranging from a software fault to the gearbox itself.

Manufacturer recalls

Monthly cost by item
Fuel or electricity€192
Insurance€72
Maintenance€36
Depreciation€154
Total per month€454

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

  • NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
  • Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
  • Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
  • Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
Fuel (petrol)€192

2.0 Si4 240 BVA9 version: combined consumption of 7.8 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.

7.8 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €192

Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.

Insurance€72

Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.

Maintenance€36

Servicing and wear parts (tyres, brakes) for 12,000 km a year, per month.

Depreciation€154

Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the valuation gap between two years, per month.

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • 2.0 Ingenium diesel: listen to the engine when cold (timing chain rattle) and ask whether the chain has already been replaced.
  • Check the oil level and smell (risk of diesel dilution on the 2.0 diesel).
  • Automatic gearbox: extended test drive, jerks, hesitation when pulling away; ask whether the gearbox software is up to date at a Land Rover dealer.
  • Insist on the full service book: Autocar advises paying more for a car with a full service history.
  • Have a diagnostic scan and a pre-purchase inspection carried out by a garage.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Have the timing chain and the particulate filter already been replaced? Do you have the invoices?
  • Were the automatic gearbox software updates carried out at Land Rover?
  • Is the servicing complete and carried out within the dealer network?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Read fault codes

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
