2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · AR61 UES

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 106,966 miles flagged critical issues including a severely deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot and thin front brake pads. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of mechanical wear across the last three years suggests that components are only addressed once they approach the point of failure or legal limit. At 106,966 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical annual usage. There is a significant gap of roughly 13,500 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 7,900 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025. This consistent mileage suggests regular use, which places a steady load on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the fuel tank and protective heat shield, as heavy corrosion has been noted consistently since at least October 2022 through to 2025. The structural integrity of the underbody requires close scrutiny to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface level. Additionally, the history of inner-edge tyre wear in 2023 and 2024 indicates potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further tyre degradation. The braking system shows a pattern of neglect, with pitted rear discs and thin pads flagged in 2022 and again in 2025. The recent failure of the nearside CV boot is a high-priority concern; if the boot leaks grease, the drive joint will fail rapidly, necessitating an expensive replacement. Inspect for grease spray around the drive shafts and ensure the front brake pads and discs have actually been replaced following the 2025 advisory.
