2022 LAND ROVER R ROVER EVOQUE R-DYN S PHEV A1.5L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 54,992 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation regarding the braking system. While the car maintained a clean record in 2023, the subsequent two tests have identified recurring issues with brake component condition. The persistence of these faults suggests a reactive maintenance approach where parts are only addressed as they approach failure limits rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old German hatchback, averaging approximately 7,850 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 14,448 miles, indicating steady and relatively low usage. The gap of 4,272 miles between the March 2025 and 2026 tests shows the car is driven at a consistent annual rate, though the low total mileage may contribute to the surface pitting and scoring on the brake discs noted in the later tests. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly. The tester consistently flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests, alongside reports of fluctuating service brakes in 2025. These indicators suggest that the rotors are suffering from corrosion or heat cycling, leading to uneven wear. You should verify the thickness of the brake pads and check for any seized caliper pistons which could be causing the recorded fluctuations. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding undertrays warrants a visual check to ensure no significant mounting damage or structural corrosion has developed since that entry.
