2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · D12 EBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test in July 2025 at 93,552 miles, it failed immediately prior due to multiple defects across the suspension and braking systems. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a list of failures in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 93,552 miles over twelve years, the Evoque has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 10,000 miles between 2024 and July 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though it does explain the standard wear on rubber components and mechanical joints associated with regular driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front and rear suspension. The July 2025 test flagged play in the anti-roll bar ball joints and worn bushes in the rear suspension arms, alongside corrosion on the trail arms. While these were noted as not seriously weakened, the presence of corrosion and bushing wear suggests the suspension geometry may be beginning to suffer degradation. The previous split CV boot noted in 2024 also indicates that drivetrain rubberwork should be checked for grease leakage to prevent further damage to the drive joints. The braking system requires immediate attention as the most recent record identifies pitted and scored discs on both axles, along with thin rear pads. Given that these were reasons for the July 2025 failure, the buyer should verify that these parts were actually replaced with high-quality components rather than merely adjusted. The loose central heat shield should also be secured to prevent excessive noise during operation.
