2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · G9 RMT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 83,731 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean passes after a failure in early 2024. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following that failure, as the clean records from the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest that the current owner is addressing identified issues and maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2023 and March 2024, where the car covered over 18,000 miles in a single year. Prior to this period, the usage was significantly lower, often averaging only 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually. This sudden spike in mileage likely explains the increased wear observed on rubber components and braking systems noted during the 2024 inspection. A prospective buyer should inspect the rear shock absorbers specifically, as the 2024 test flagged light misting of oil on both units. While this did not cause a failure, oil misting indicates the beginning of seal degradation which eventually leads to component failure. The buyer should also verify the condition of the current tyres, as the history shows previous edge wear on the offside rear tyre, which can indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The mechanical history shows no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but the record of thin brake pads in 2016 highlights that consumables are subject to wear. Given the recent increase in mileage, a physical check of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is advisable to ensure that the increased usage has not accelerated the wear of the braking system.
