2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · BW14 AEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test on 28 July 2026 at 59,265 miles passed, it flagged a worn and perishing offside front tyre near the legal limit. This follows a long-term trend where defects are only addressed after failing an MOT, as seen with the failures in July 2025 and 2024. At 12 years old, the Range Rover Evoque has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age and exposure rather than mechanical wear. There is a significant gap in records between December 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 4,264 miles. The consistent appearance of thin brake pads and perishing wipers across various years since 2017 suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or undergone minimal maintenance between testing intervals. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the offside front suspension arm pin or bush was noted as worn in July 2025. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, these rubber bushes are prone to cracking and tearing. The record also notes a minor oil leak in late 2020 which requires a physical inspection to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant issue over the subsequent years. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with pads being flagged as thin repeatedly in 2017, 2020, 2024, and 2025. The buyer should inspect the brake discs for pitting or scoring caused by running pads down to the metal. Additionally, the previous fuel tank heat shield corrosion noted in 2019 and missing shield in 2020 should be verified to ensure the structural integrity of the fuel system remains intact and free from advancing rust.
