2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · AK16 FSC

A consistent track record of clean MOT results characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 27 March 2026 resulting in a pass. While the 2026 inspection included advisories regarding child seats obstructing the full inspection of rear adult seat belts, the mechanical history shows a period of stability from 2021 through 2026 where no structural or mechanical defects were recorded. This follows a more varied 2019 inspection which flagged issues with rear brake disc surface condition, thinning brake pads, and low tread on the offside front tyre. The transition from those specific component advisories in 2019 to several consecutive years of defect-free results indicates that the previously noted wear items were addressed. The vehicle has covered 52,522 miles over its ten-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 5,252 miles. This is a relatively low mileage profile for a 2016 vehicle, which can imply less frequent mechanical wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage examples. However, such low annual usage can also mean the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber seals and various fluid properties. The testing continuity is consistent, with no significant gaps in the MOT history between 2019 and 2026. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, given the historical advisories regarding worn and pitted rear brake discs and thinning pads. During a test drive, pay close attention to the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or pulsation, and listen for any grinding or squealing noises when applying the brakes, particularly when slowing from higher speeds. It is also prudent to check for any uneven pulling to one side during braking, which could indicate a binding caliper or uneven pad wear. Given the low annual mileage, a thorough visual inspection of the vehicle's underside is advisable to check for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components that can occur when a vehicle is not driven regularly. While the recent records are clear of suspension or steering defects, the low-mileage usage pattern warrants a check for any knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces during the test drive, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or ball joints. Ensure that the tyre tread depth and condition are inspected across all four wheels to ensure they meet current legal requirements and show even wear patterns.
