2021 LAND ROVER R ROVER EVOQUE R-DYN S P300E A1.5L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted just three months ago on 21 April 2026 at 55,618 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy but reveals a consistent pattern of brake disc wear across multiple tests. The tester flagged front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, though they were not deemed seriously weakened. This suggests a steady decline in brake component condition over time, likely requiring attention sooner rather than later. The absence of any advisories or failings in the 2024 test indicates the wear has progressed gradually rather than abruptly, but the recurring nature of the issue implies either deferred maintenance or a design susceptibility in the braking system. The recorded mileage of 55,618 miles over five years reflects an average of approximately 11,124 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this vehicle type. There are no significant gaps in mileage accumulation—each test interval spans roughly 12,000 to 14,000 miles—indicating consistent driving rather than prolonged periods of neglect or storage. The lack of a pre-2024 MOT record prevents deeper insight into earlier maintenance habits, but the regular intervals suggest at least routine servicing has been adhered to. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the brake system, particularly the discs and calipers, to assess whether the pitting has progressed beyond the MOT’s tolerance thresholds. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be closely examined for wear or corrosion, as these are often overlooked but critical to handling and safety. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be scrutinised, as this is a common failure point for high-ground-clearance SUVs. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified, as catalytic converter damage or leaks can exacerbate emissions failures and indicate underlying drivetrain stress.
