2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · AP64 OFR

A consistent record of MOT passes without failure since 2019 defines this vehicle's roadworthiness, although a recurring pattern of brake wear is evident. The latest test on 6 January 2026 resulted in a pass but flagged rear brake pads wearing thin, a point of attention that previously appeared in the 2021 records alongside worn discs. While the vehicle has avoided major structural or mechanical failures, these repeated advisories indicate that braking consumables are reaching the end of their service life. The recorded mileage of 97,958 miles over an eleven year period represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,905 miles. This is a typical accumulation rate for this age of vehicle, suggesting a regular usage pattern rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically coincides with the expected wear of suspension bushings and drivetrain components, though no specific failures in these areas have been recorded in the MOT history. Inspection should focus heavily on the braking system given the historical advisories for both front and rear pads and discs. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibrations under braking, which may indicate warped or excessively worn discs. Listen for high-pitched squealing or grinding noises, particularly from the rear, which would confirm the thin brake pads noted in the January 2026 test. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the tyres, specifically the rear pair, following the 2022 advisories regarding cracking and perishing. Check the sidewalls for visible weather-checking or hairline cracks. Ensure the steering is centered and there is no pull to either side, as the absence of suspension advisories in the record should be verified through physical road feel and a visual check of the suspension arms for any signs of play.
