2021 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN S P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · AG21 BAL

A spotless MOT history across the last two test years signals that, as far as the DVSA inspections can confirm, the Evoque has presented no measurable safety or emissions deficiencies; the most recent pass on 21 November 2025 reinforces a consistent record of compliance. No advisory or failure entries appear, indicating that the inspected systems – brakes, suspension, lights, emissions and structural elements – met the statutory standards at each check. At 54,974 miles recorded for a 2021 model, the average annual accumulation sits around 11 000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT dates – roughly twelve months apart – show no prolonged gaps that might conceal untested deterioration, and the mileage progression appears steady rather than spiking, suggesting a regular driving pattern without extreme short‑term abuse. When you conduct a pre‑purchase test drive, pay particular attention to the braking system despite the clean record: listen for any high‑pitched squeal on initial application, feel for pedal pulsation that could hint at warped discs, and check that the pedal returns promptly without excessive travel. Inspect the tyre tread depth and uniformity; uneven wear may reveal mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, so note any pulling to one side when cruising on a straight, level road. While the MOT did not flag suspension components, a 5‑year‑old vehicle can develop loosened ball joints or degraded rubber bushings, so a noticeable clunk over bumps or a vague looseness in steering response would merit further inspection. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, also verify the condition of the drivetrain and ancillary systems: listen for any abnormal whine from the gearbox or differential under acceleration, and watch for oil leaks around the engine sump, valve cover or under the rear subframe. A healthy battery should hold charge without excessive voltage drop under load, and the exhaust system should be free of excessive rust or loud rattles that could indicate corrosion of the muffler or hangers. Addressing any of these observations before finalising the purchase will ensure the Evoque’s roadworthiness extends beyond the documented MOT compliance.
