2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.2L Diesel

This Range Rover Evoque has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive annual tests, most recently passing on 23 December 2025 at 108,303 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the most recent test occurred just over seven months ago, placing it at the upper limit of the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for vehicles under 3 years old. While this is technically compliant, a pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify that no wear or degradation has developed since the last MOT, particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes and coil springs. The mileage progression of approximately 5,879 miles per year—calculated from the 108,303 miles at the latest test—indicates steady usage without prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive wear. There are no gaps in the MOT record that would suggest the vehicle was left untested for extended periods, which could mask underlying issues. The consistent annual servicing implied by the MOT history suggests at least one owner demonstrated diligence in maintaining the vehicle within manufacturer-recommended intervals. That said, the average mileage per year is slightly above the typical range for a vehicle of this age, which may imply higher usage and accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brake discs, and suspension components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or excessive play. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as even minor issues can escalate quickly in a vehicle of this age and mileage. Structural integrity is another critical area—examine the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in high-stress areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or damage, as failing emissions tests in previous years (if any) were not recorded, but visual inspection remains prudent. The lack of advisories in the MOT history does not preclude the need for a thorough mechanical assessment.
