2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · DU66 AAE

The 2025‑06‑28 MOT at 113,833 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester recorded worn near‑ and off‑side front tyres, a cracked near‑side rear tyre, thin front brake pads, pitted front and rear discs, and slightly smearing wipers. The preceding 2025‑06‑27 failure showed rear brake pads below 1.5 mm and the same tyre wear, indicating a worsening brake and tyre condition, yet the vehicle remains roadworthy only because the defects are classified as advisories. Mileage has risen from 91,153 miles in November 2020 to 113,833 miles in June 2025, averaging about 11,383 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Range Rover Evoque. The interval between the 2022‑06‑27 test at 97,590 miles and the 2023‑06‑23 failure at 105,839 miles added roughly 8,250 miles in less than a year, suggesting a period of more intense use, while earlier years show steady increments of 2–3 k miles annually. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or excessive play, verify that the rear brake calipers are not seized, and examine the brake discs for deep scoring or cracking, as the repeated wear on both front and rear discs points to possible caliper drag or uneven pad wear. The consistent edge wear on all four tyres suggests alignment or suspension geometry issues that should be checked, along with the condition of the rear structural area for rust that could affect the wheel arches. Finally, the buyer ought to confirm that the exhaust system is free of leaks, that the DPF shows no excessive smoke, and that the structural chassis exhibits no corrosion beyond the minor perishing noted on the rear tyre, since these items can evolve quickly on a vehicle of this age and mileage.
