2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · 29 ADL

The Range Rover Evoque presents a broadly stable maintenance profile, passing every MOT on record, yet a recurring pattern of tyre defects suggests previous owners have neglected basic rubber upkeep. The most recent test on 27 April 2026 at 67,928 miles passed, but the tester flagged a nearside rear tyre as slightly damaged, cracking or perishing. That advisory follows a long history of identical tyre warnings, indicating this is a persistent weak point rather than a one-off. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,793 miles per year since new, which is typical for a 2016 Evoque. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, with no sudden jumps or suspiciously long gaps between tests. Annual tests have been completed consistently, with the odometer climbing from 40,699 miles in February 2022 to 67,928 miles in April 2026. There is no evidence of the car sitting unused for extended periods, and the wear rate aligns with regular daily use. Tyre condition is the dominant theme across the entire MOT history. The 2022 test at 40,699 miles flagged perished rear tyres, the 2023 test at 49,465 miles noted an offside rear tyre heavily perished and cracking, the 2025 test at 61,371 miles flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, and the 2026 test returned to a perished nearside rear tyre. Failing repeatedly on tyre tread depth and sidewall condition points to deferred replacements and possible alignment or suspension geometry issues causing uneven edge wear. A buyer should carefully inspect all four tyres, including sidewalls for age-related cracking, and check wheel alignment settings. Beyond tyres, the 2023 test at 49,465 miles flagged a front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened. With no repeat brake advisory in subsequent tests, the discs may have been replaced, but a buyer should verify the condition of front brake discs and pads in person. The absence of any suspension, structural corrosion, or emissions failures across the record is encouraging, yet the persistent tyre issues warrant a thorough inspection of suspension bushes and dampers to rule out uneven wear causes.
