2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque D 4X2 2.0L Diesel · LU11 BEA

The 2026-05-29 MOT record confirms a failed roadworthiness assessment, indicating that the vehicle has not maintained the required safety standards for at least one year. This failure stems from critical exhaust emissions exceeding the manufacturer's specified limit, which is a serious structural risk requiring immediate attention. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which is a mechanical hazard that will likely cause a squeal or vibration, and the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint shows slight play, suggesting a potential suspension issue that could lead to uneven handling. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the two most recent tests: the 2026-05-29 test at 77,687 miles was conducted after a failed MOT, while the 2025-05-12 test at 62,609 miles was passed without defects. This rapid accumulation of mileage over a single year, coupled with the failure to maintain the MOT, suggests that basic upkeep was skipped without addressing the critical exhaust emissions or structural risks. The lack of a clean MOT history implies that the vehicle has not undergone a full preventative service, leaving the drivetrain and suspension exposed to wear and tear. Given the recurring faults including binding brakes and worn front anti-roll bars, the vehicle presents a structural integrity risk that requires professional intervention to prevent further damage. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs to check for binding calipers and excessive play, as well as examine the front anti-roll bar linkage for any signs of wear or binding. The history also highlights a lack of maintenance for the exhaust system and drivetrain components, necessitating a full inspection of the exhaust emissions and checking the constant velocity boot on the drive shaft to ensure the drivetrain is not compromised.
