2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · AO17 LDA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 20, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent failure was limited to a minor cracked offside rear fog lamp lens, the previous records indicate significant mechanical concerns regarding the braking and suspension systems. The transition from a failed 2024 test to a clean pass in 2025 suggests that critical safety items were addressed only after they failed the official inspection. At 117,783 miles over nine years, this Evoque has covered an average of 13,000 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with approximately 6,700 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,600 miles covered in the final year. This high-frequency usage places considerable strain on heavy drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which aligns with the mechanical wear patterns noted in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The May 2024 test flagged corroded rear coil springs on both sides and seriously weakened rear brake discs, alongside pitted front discs. You should check for signs of uneven pad wear, sticking calipers, or excessive rust on the spring mounting points. Given the high mileage and the history of corrosion on the springs, verifying the integrity of the control arms and bushings is vital, as these are common points of failure on this model as they age under heavy load.
