2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · 16 HAM

A history of consumable wear and tyre-related failures defines this vehicle's recent MOT profile, though the most recent test on 11 March 2026 shows no recorded defects. The records indicate a pattern of issues regarding tyre integrity and brake pad depletion, specifically seen in the 2025 failure where both offside and nearside rear tyres were flagged for cuts reaching the ply or cords. While the 2024 test highlighted front tyre wear on the edges, the progression from those advisories to the 2025 failures and the subsequent clean pass in 2026 suggests a period of addressing wear-related components. The recorded mileage of 48,938 miles over approximately six years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,156 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving profiles for a vehicle of this age and does not suggest extreme high-mileage wear or the potential degradation associated with long-term stationary periods. Mechanically, this level of usage implies that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage thresholds, consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will be entering a phase of more frequent replacement. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition given the specific history of near-side rear brake pad advisories and previous tyre failures. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic clicking or thumping from the rear wheels which could indicate uneven tyre wear or internal tyre damage, and feel for any pulsation through the brake pedal or pulling to one side during deceleration. The previous advisory regarding thin brake pads suggests that the braking components have been subject to regular wear, so verifying the remaining thickness of both front and rear pads is essential. The 2024 advisory regarding tyres being worn on the edges is also a relevant mechanical indicator to investigate. This specific type of wear often points toward suspension geometry issues or incorrect tyre pressures. On the test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and whether the vehicle exhibits any pulling to either side on a straight road, which could indicate unevenly worn tyres or misaligned suspension components. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and steering linkages for any signs of play or knocks over bumps would be a prudent step to ensure the previous edge-wear issues have been fully rectified.
