2012 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a broadly stable maintenance profile through its most recent MOT cycles, with the latest test on 26 September 2025 at 107,930 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory noted a rusty fuel tank cover, a relatively minor cosmetic and corrosion-related item rather than a structural or mechanical failure. Comparing this to the 2024 test at 104,252 miles, where the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was flagged for slight play, the record suggests the suspension wear noted in 2024 has not reappeared as a defect in 2025. That indicates either a repair was carried out or the wear has not yet progressed to a failure point. The trend is therefore stable to slightly improving, with no recurring mechanical failures and no dangerous or major defects recorded across the five-year history shown. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a 2012 vehicle now approaching 14 years of age. Between 2021 and 2025, the recorded miles rose from 89,049 to 107,930, an accumulation of roughly 18,881 miles over four years, averaging around 4,720 miles per year during that window. That is lower than the overall lifetime average of approximately 7,709 miles per year, suggesting the vehicle has seen lighter recent use or possibly longer periods of standing. No anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in mileage are visible in the data, and the annual testing pattern has been maintained without missed years, which supports a reasonable level of ongoing care. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components, given the 2024 advisory for slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. Even though this did not reappear in the 2025 test, wear in such linkage joints can be intermittent and progressive, so checking for play, perished boots, and uneven tyre wear remains worthwhile. The fuel tank cover corrosion flagged in 2025 warrants a closer look underneath to establish whether it is superficial surface rust or the early stage of deeper corrosion affecting the tank or its mounting points. The 2022 advisories regarding both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing damage or perishing suggest the vehicle may have spent time on neglected rubber, so the age and condition of all four tyres, including the sidewalls, should be verified. Brake and exhaust condition should also be assessed on test drive, as no recent defects were recorded but the vehicle's age and mileage make these systems natural candidates for wear. A brief check for any exhaust smoke, dashboard warning lights, or uneven braking feel will round out the evaluation. Overall, the MOT record paints a picture of a vehicle that has been kept in roadworthy condition without serious or persistent faults, though the minor corrosion and historical suspension advisory justify a careful, hands-on inspection before purchase.
