2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SL17 ACV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-14 at 78,102 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, prior tests reveal inconsistencies: two MOTs on 2024-03-13 at 65,935 miles—both failing and passing with no defects recorded—suggest potential administrative errors or minor technical issues unresolved. The 2023-03-24 tests at 53,979 miles followed a similar pattern, with one pass and one fail. While no critical defects were logged, the repeated failures without recorded issues raise questions about the accuracy of the testing process or unresolved minor faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 78,102 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 8,678 miles, typical for its nine-year age. A significant jump from 53,979 miles (2023) to 65,935 miles (2024) occurred within 12 months, followed by a slower increase to 78,102 miles by 2025. This suggests periods of moderate to active use, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of corrosion, structural damage, or emissions failures in the records is positive, but the lack of detailed defect notes limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical state. Buyers should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, and check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may not trigger MOT failures. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be scrutinised, as repeated MOT failures without defects could hint at intermittent issues. While the vehicle appears roadworthy on paper, the irregular testing history warrants a thorough mechanical check to confirm the absence of unresolved faults.
