2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · M16 BDK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-09 at 79,987 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2025-10-08 at 79,986 miles showed a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting an anomaly or potential administrative error. Subsequent tests from 2024-09-23 to 2022-10-13 consistently passed with no issues, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The lack of defects in these tests implies no critical mechanical or structural failures, though the abrupt failure entry requires scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,987 miles at 14 years old equates to approximately 5,713 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT history shows gradual mileage increases, with no rapid accumulation suggesting heavy use. However, the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear, such as tyre tread or brake pad condition, which are common in older vehicles. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these can degrade with age regardless of MOT results. Check for corrosion around the chassis and underbody, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Verify the brake system’s integrity, including disc thickness and caliper function, as these are critical for safety. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but low mileage may mask hidden problems from inactivity, necessitating a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
