2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · OV15 ABN

The latest MOT test conducted on 7 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records to February 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably stable maintenance trend, passing four consecutive tests without a single advisory or failure. Such a clean record for a vehicle of this vintage is atypical and indicates that the car has likely been subject to a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or has been operated in a manner that has minimised typical wear and tear. With a recorded mileage of 83,870 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,625 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for its age and suggests a balanced operational history. It avoids the pitfalls of excessive mileage, which often leads to premature degradation of the drivetrain and suspension components, while also avoiding the risks associated with very low usage, such as seal shrinkage or engine sludge from infrequent cycling. Given the absence of recorded defects, the physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that may not be captured during a standard MOT. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or fine cracking, as tyres can expire due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there are no binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. A thorough check of the 12V battery health is recommended, as these components typically require replacement every five to seven years. Beyond the mechanical components, the buyer must verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid intervals have been observed. This includes checking for documented changes to the engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid, as well as verifying the transmission service history. During a test drive, listen for any subtle knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which can fatigue over a decade regardless of mileage. Finally, cross-reference the service book stamps with the recorded mileage to ensure the consistency of the vehicle's maintenance timeline.
