2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern. The most recent test in December 2025 at 88,281 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the primary issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This clean result suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying the structural and mechanical faults that appeared in early 2024. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's 14-year age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between November 2020 and March 2022, where the vehicle covered only 4,598 miles over sixteen months. However, usage has since resumed a steady pace, covering 14,670 miles in the last three years. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and braking system. The March 2024 test at 81,154 miles flagged corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. While the tester noted these were not seriously weakened at that time, rust on load-bearing components requires close monitoring to ensure the corrosion has not progressed toward structural failure. Additionally, the offside rear brake pipe was a recurring failure point in 2020, 2022, and 2024, requiring verification that the lines have been replaced and remain free of leaks or further degradation. The history also shows instances of neglected consumable maintenance, such as the 2015 failure for worn brake pads and the 2024 advisories regarding perished tyres. While these are standard wear and tear, the buyer should check the current condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking and inspect the thickness of the brake pads. Given the previous issues with sub-frame corrosion, checking the suspension bushes and mounting points is also essential to ensure the vehicle remains in good mechanical condition.
