2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · AD12 GOH

The Evoque presents a current roadworthy status following a passed test on 24 December 2025 at 128,655 miles, yet the maintenance trend is irregular rather than stable. The vehicle failed two consecutive tests without any defects recorded by the tester, on 29 November 2025 at 128,449 miles and previously on 18 October 2024 at 116,300 miles, before passing cleanly on re-test shortly after each failure. Such back-to-back failures with no listed faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than resolved mechanical defects, leaving the true condition unverified by the record. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a 2012 plate, rising from 99,811 miles at the October 2023 test to 116,473 miles by November 2024 and 128,655 miles by December 2025, an average near 9,200 miles per year with no standing gaps. The sparse history of only three pass and two fail entries across the final three years offers little granular insight into wear cycles. Clean advisories throughout mean no tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion were flagged at any stage. A buyer should not treat the absence of recorded defects as proof of sound mechanical health. The twin failures with zero noted defects warrant a physical inspection of structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and braking function to confirm the car was not failing on undocumented grounds. Given the age and 128,655 miles, prior owner upkeep of consumables and drivetrain cannot be assumed from this data alone. Priority checks should cover front coil springs, rear suspension arms, and underbody corrosion typical of Evoques of this era. Verify the brake calipers are free and the test station's failure rationale with DVSA if possible. The record implies light documentary upkeep rather than deep mechanical proof.
