2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol · RR16 EVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 70,250 miles identified corroded and broken fuel tank carriers, the vehicle passed despite this structural concern. The history shows a recurring pattern of failing on basic consumable items and minor adjustments, suggesting that the previous owners only addressed mechanical issues once they resulted in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over its decade of life. There is a significant gap in records between March 2019 and February 2021, where the car covered only 17,000 miles. Since 2021, the usage has remained steady, increasing by roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles annually. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and increased corrosion, as seen in the recent findings. A buyer must inspect the suspension and alignment geometry due to the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear. In 2023, 2024, and 2021, the tester flagged tyres worn on the edges or reaching the legal limit across multiple axles, which frequently indicates worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or an incorrect tracking setting. Additionally, the failure in 2022 for thin brake pads and pitted discs confirms that the braking system was neglected until reaching a critical safety point. The corrosion of the fuel tank carriers noted in the April 2026 test is a specific concern for a Range Rover of this age. This structural issue requires a physical inspection to ensure the rust is not spreading to the chassis. Given the history of failing headlamp aims and wiper blades, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to minimum required standards. A prospective buyer should verify that the current state of the tyres and brakes is sufficient to avoid immediate post-purchase expenses.
