2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol · L4 KBP

The 2016 Range Rover Evoque presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a notably clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 28 August 2025 at 61,374 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects or advisories. This marks three consecutive passes with no flagged issues, a significant turnaround from the 2022 test where both front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored on their inner faces. The resolution of that defect suggests the previous owner replaced the front discs and pads, and the subsequent two years of clean records indicate the braking system has remained sound. The maintenance trajectory is clearly positive, with no recurring faults and no new advisories emerging. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the odometer moved from 36,488 to 43,176 miles, a jump of 6,688 miles. The following year saw 5,566 miles added, and the most recent twelve-month period recorded 7,073 miles. This steady annual average of roughly 6,100 miles aligns with typical use and shows no alarming spikes or suspiciously low gaps that might suggest long periods of inactivity or a rolled-back odometer. The vehicle has been driven regularly but not excessively. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the areas previously flagged. The 2022 advisory on the front brake discs warrants a close check of the current disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper operation to confirm the repair was done properly and not with budget components. Given the Evoque's known susceptibility to suspension wear, particularly rear trailing arm bushes and front lower arm bushes, a press test and visual check for perishing or play is advisable. The turbocharged petrol engine should be examined for oil leaks around the cam cover and turbo feed, and the exhaust system should be inspected for corrosion, especially around the flexi-joint and rear silencer. Structural integrity demands attention on any ten-year-old Land Rover. Inspect the inner sills, subframe mounting points, and around the rear wheel arches for signs of corrosion or previous underseal masking rust. The panoramic roof, where fitted, should be tested for smooth operation and drained to ensure the channels are clear, as blockages commonly cause water ingress and electrical faults. A short test drive should verify smooth gearbox shifts, no drivetrain vibrations, and that the air suspension, if equipped, holds pressure overnight.
