2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.2L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 172,277 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior failures in 2025-05-27 (164,806 miles) and 2022-02-19 (144,562 miles) suggest intermittent issues that were resolved, as the latest test showed no recurring problems. The absence of defects in the final inspection implies that any prior faults were addressed, but the pattern of failures without recorded defects raises questions about the consistency of maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 172,277 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 12,306 miles annually, which is high for its age. Notably, the gap between the 2022-02-26 test (144,803 miles) and the 2023-03-03 test (157,610 miles) covered 12,807 miles in 13 months, while the subsequent 2025-12-19 test added 27,471 miles in 29 months. This irregularity suggests periods of low usage, potentially leading to component degradation from inactivity, such as corrosion or fluid stagnation. The lack of detailed defect records limits insight into specific mechanical wear, but the high mileage warrants scrutiny of critical systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. The braking system requires close examination for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, which may not have triggered MOT failures. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, should also be checked, as age and mileage increase rust risk. While the latest MOT was clean, the history of unexplained failures underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
