2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · 72 DJ

The 2012 Range Rover Evoque presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, with its most recent test occurring on 24 July 2025 at 102,685 miles, just under a year ago from today's date. The tester recorded zero defects across all categories, indicating the vehicle met minimum structural, mechanical, and emissions standards at that time. This consistent pattern of passing without advisories suggests the previous owner addressed issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. At fourteen years old with 102,685 miles on the clock, the Evoque has covered roughly 7,335 miles annually, which falls below the national average and points to lighter usage or extended periods of standing. Examining the chronological data reveals a notable gap between the November 2022 test at 78,376 miles and the May 2024 test at 91,676 miles, during which the car accumulated 13,300 miles over approximately eighteen months. The most recent interval from May 2024 to July 2025 saw a further 11,009 miles added in fourteen months, confirming a recent uptick in usage compared to the earlier, slower accumulation. Despite the flawless MOT record, a clean certificate does not guarantee the absence of impending wear, particularly on a fourteen-year-old premium SUV. Buyers should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber and corrosion caused by sitting stationary rather than high mileage wear. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles used for short trips that prevents pads from bedding in properly. The structural integrity of the underbody and inner wing seams demands a thorough check, as corrosion can develop unseen beneath the Evoque's bodywork without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Electronic systems, including the parking brake module and air suspension compressor if fitted, should be cycled to ensure full functionality. Tyre age and tread depth warrant verification, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage, and uneven wear could indicate misalignment not severe enough to fail an MOT.
