LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 25,181 miles passed, the tester noted an advisory for poor front brake discs requiring imminent replacement. This follows a progression from the 2024 test where multiple suspension and tyre issues were flagged, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a stage of component degradation despite its low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between October 2021 at 13,431 miles and July 2023 at 19,936 miles, during which the car covered only 6,500 miles in nearly twenty months. This intermittent use often leads to issues with rubber-based components and brake corrosion, which aligns with the worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush identified in mid-2024. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the 2024 record specifically highlighted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and a rear bush issue. These components are prone to dry-rotting when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Furthermore, the front brake discs should be measured for thickness as the 2025 advisory confirms they are nearing the end of their functional life. The mention of engine covers and undertrays obscuring testable items in both 2023 and 2024 suggests that a mechanic should check for hidden fluid leaks or structural corrosion that the MOT tester could not fully access.
