2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · BV02 BAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding critical mechanical components. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 69,745 miles resulted in a failure due to a deteriorated nearside front drive shaft boot and a damaged offside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed upon retest, the persistence of the CV boot issue, which was first flagged in 2023 at 55,672 miles, suggests the owner only addresses faults upon failure. The recorded mileage of 69,745 miles is consistent with the age of a nine-year-old Range Rover Evoque, averaging approximately 7,750 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of usage, with roughly 2,200 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used for regular trips rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, though it has led to the predictable wear patterns seen in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front drive shaft to ensure the leaking grease has not caused internal damage to the CV joint itself, as the boot remained deteriorated for over two years. The recurring history of uneven tyre wear, noted in both 2022 and 2024, indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention. Additionally, the current condition of all tyres should be checked for impact damage or cracking, as the 2025 failure highlighted a cut deep enough to reach the cords on the offside rear.
