Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Range Rover Evoque at its test that year, and it is the number to watch: across the whole fleet each extra year of age adds roughly 1.9 points to the fail rate, so a model whose age and fail rate rise together is simply getting older.

The exact defects that fail it

Every failure item DVSA recorded against a Range Rover Evoque in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.
