LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2018 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend regarding fluid loss. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 82,084 miles, the report identifies oil leaks from both the engine and the nearside rear axle/differential. These leaks were already noted during the September 2024 inspection at 60,337 miles, indicating that the issue is persistent and has not been rectified over the year. At 82,084 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,260 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old car. There is a significant mileage gap of nearly 22,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, during which the vehicle moved from a failed state in 2023—where it was flagged for worn tyres and brake pads—to a state where maintenance is being performed in response to MOT failures rather than through scheduled preventative care. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the engine and rear differential assembly to determine the source of the ongoing oil leaks. Because the leak has been present in two consecutive years, there is a risk of seal failure or gasket degradation that requires professional monitoring. Additionally, the nearside rear outer drive shaft CV boot, which caused a failure in 2023, should be inspected for any signs of grease leakage or tearing to ensure the previous repair was comprehensive. Finally, the history of thin brake pads and worn tyres in 2023 suggests a pattern of replacing components only when they reach legal limits. A prospective owner should verify the current depth of the tyres and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they are not also nearing the end of their service life, as the record indicates the vehicle is prone to reactive maintenance.
