LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE SD42013 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 23 January 2026 at 56,121 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of inconsistency regarding readiness. The car failed a test just seventeen days prior at 56,108 miles and follows a previous failure in March 2025 at 51,199 miles. These recent failures suggest the vehicle often operates at the absolute limit of legal compliance, requiring reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the July 2022 test and the January 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 568 miles. This period of infrequent use contrasts with the more recent surge of over 6,000 miles covered in the last eighteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, periods of standing can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of regular mechanical exercise. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the recent MOT failures indicate issues that were rectified shortly before the latest pass. Focus on signs of seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes which are common in vehicles that experience long periods of inactivity. Given the age and low annual mileage, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for underbody corrosion and check the tyres for flat-spotting or cracking despite sufficient tread depth.
