2017 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following a clean pass at 98,611 miles in October 2025, though the history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance that ultimately resolved. Previous tests highlight recurring brake disc scoring and pad depletion, alongside tyre edge wear and tread deficiency. The tester recorded insecure rear heat shielding and critically thin rear pads during the October 2025 failure, yet these items received attention before the successful retest. The maintenance trajectory shifted from neglectful to corrective over the last two years, indicating a previous keeper who prioritised essential repairs over routine servicing. Annual mileage tracks steadily at approximately eleven thousand miles per year, aligning with standard expectations for a nine-year-old premium SUV. The odometer advanced from 76,803 miles in November 2023 to 87,370 miles twelve months later, then reached 98,611 miles by October 2025. This consistent accumulation rules out prolonged storage periods or sudden high-stress usage. The regular testing intervals suggest the car remained in daily operation without extended layups, meaning wear on suspension components, drivetrain mounts, and fluid degradation should remain within predictable parameters for this distance. Prospective buyers must verify the current condition of the braking system and steering geometry before purchase. The repeated reports of pitted brake discs and rapid pad consumption strongly point to seized or binding caliper slide pins, which require thorough cleaning and lubrication to prevent premature rotor damage. Tyre edge wear noted across three consecutive inspections demands a professional wheel alignment check to rule out excessive negative camber or degraded control arm bushes. Inspect the underbody for corrosion around the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points, and confirm all fluid levels show no signs of overheating or contamination.
