2018 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT test on 12 December 2025 at 55,359 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, though with a persistent advisory on front brake pad wear. This marks a slight deterioration from the previous test cycle—where both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and a nail was found in the offside rear tyre—suggesting some deferred maintenance. The absence of major defects in earlier tests (2023–2021) indicates the vehicle was largely well-maintained until the last two years, but the recurring tyre and brake advisories imply basic upkeep has been inconsistent. The latest test’s sole advisory on brake pads (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) suggests the pads are nearing replacement thresholds, though no structural or safety-critical failures have been recorded. The mileage progression of approximately 6,920 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable gap is between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where mileage increased by 4,584 miles in a single year, but this does not indicate excessive wear. The consistent annual testing schedule—without any failed or extended-overdue tests—supports the assumption that the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored. However, the repeated tyre advisories in 2024, including a nail penetration, suggest either delayed rotation or neglect in monitoring tread depth. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the front brake system, particularly the pads and calipers, given the consistent wear advisory over the last two tests. The offside rear tyre nail from 2024 warrants scrutiny of the remaining tyres for hidden damage or uneven wear, as well as checking for signs of punctures or internal liner degradation. Suspension components—such as coil springs, bushes, and control arms—should be examined for corrosion or excessive play, especially given the vehicle’s age and exposure to potential road salt or off-road use. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for rust or leaks, as these are common failure points in Land Rover models of this era. No major structural or emissions-related failures appear in the record, but a thorough check of the DPF (if equipped) and catalytic converter efficiency would be prudent given the 2025 test date.
