2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · M44 TBW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 127,422 miles identified a corroded offside rear coil spring. This is a recurring issue, as the same defect was flagged during the January 2024 test at 103,248 miles, indicating the component was likely not replaced despite the previous advisory or failure warning. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between late 2019 and 2021, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in a short period compared to the much lower figures seen in its early years. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a steady rate of roughly 12,000 miles annually, which correlates with the increased rise in wear-and-tear failures, particularly regarding the braking and suspension systems. A buyer must personally inspect the rear suspension assembly closely, as the repeated corrosion on the coil springs suggests potential vulnerability to structural rust or fatigue failure. The record also shows a history of neglecting basic consumables, evidenced by failures in 2020 and 2023 for low tyre tread and thin brake pads. The 2025 test flagged three separate tyres near the legal limit, suggesting the owner often waits for an MOT failure before performing maintenance. A thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is required to ensure that the previous pitting and scoring noted in 2021 have been properly addressed.
