2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · DU67 ADV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 87,120 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged both nearside front and rear tyres as being near the legal limit with uneven wear. This suggests a pattern where consumables are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, a trend that has persisted across the last six inspection intervals. The recorded mileage of 87,120 miles over nine years reflects an average of approximately 9,680 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical annual usage for a premium SUV. The data shows steady progression between tests, with 6,476 miles driven between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,811 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This consistent usage reduces the likelihood of long periods of stagnation that lead to fluid degradation or perished rubber suspension components. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system, which shows a recurring history of neglect and wear. From 2020 through 2024, the tester consistently identified pitted and scored brake discs alongside thinning pads. The failure in November 2024 at 80,309 miles due to rear brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick and scored discs indicates that the rear brakes were operated well into their limits. The buyer should verify if the rear braking assembly has been replaced recently and check for binding calipers, which often cause the premature pitting seen on the discs. The uneven wear noted on the nearside front and rear tyres in the 2025 test points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the age and mileage of the Evoque, a physical inspection of the front control arms and shock absorbers is essential. While no structural corrosion or emissions failures appear in the record, the recurring failures for minor adjustments and worn components suggest the previous owners performed only the minimum work required to pass the MOT rather than following comprehensive preventative maintenance.
