2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · AK02 ACE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components and structural integrity. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 50,315 miles passed, it identified thin front brake pads and pitted or scored discs. This follows a pattern seen in the 2024 test where both rear discs were flagged for corrosion, indicating that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life despite the low annual mileage. The record reflects an exceptionally low mileage of 50,315 miles over 14 years, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage frequency often correlates with vehicles sitting stationary for extended periods, which explains the surface corrosion and pitting on the brake discs and the ABS fault recorded in February 2025. There is a consistent gap of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between the last three years of tests, suggesting the vehicle is used only for short local trips or occasional outings rather than long-distance motorway driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the integral body structure, as the February 2026 test explicitly flagged corrosion in the main frame. Although the tester noted that structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, rust on a Range Rover of this age can accelerate rapidly if not treated. The ABS system should also be verified to ensure the fault that caused the 2025 failure has been properly rectified, and the suspension should be checked for perished rubber bushes or seals which often affects low-mileage vehicles that remain stationary.
