2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · AF18 XNX

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 108,148 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly that leaves the car legally unroadworthy until a valid pass is issued. Prior to this, the maintenance trend appeared stable, with four consecutive passes showing no advisories or defects across five years of testing. Mileage accumulation sits high for an eight year old 2018 Evoque. The record shows 49,478 miles at the 14 March 2022 test, then a jump to 72,296 by 1 March 2023, 83,949 by 6 March 2024, and 98,314 by 11 March 2025. That equates to roughly 13,500 miles per year, with the steepest annual gain of nearly 23,000 miles between 2022 and 2023. The clean pass sheet through 2025 suggests the previous owner kept on top of consumables, though the blank defect fields deny us any view of worn suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or corrosion trends. A buyer must treat the March 2026 fail as the priority. DVSA systems log no defects against the failure, so the cause may be a documentation error, absent certificate, or unrecorded fault. A fresh physical inspection and a corrective test are mandatory before any purchase. Given the mileage and Land Rover's known front lower arm bush and rear coil spring fatigue, the suspension should be checked on a ramp. Brake calipers, exhaust emissions, and underbody structural integrity warrant scrutiny given the high annual use. The absence of advisories in earlier tests gives no warning of creeping wear, so assume nothing has been pre-empted. Verify the 2026 failure reason with the test station and confirm a clean pass before committing funds.
