2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · C22 LAS

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with five tests since 2022 showing a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. This stability is reflected in the most recent pass on 15 May 2025, which followed a failure on the same date that listed no specific defects. This pattern indicates a trend of meeting minimum safety and emissions standards without the recurring issues often associated with this model's age. The recorded mileage of 113,665 miles aligns with typical usage for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,743 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than suffering from long periods of stagnation or excessive high-mileage wear. Mechanically, this level of usage typically places standard wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though the lack of MOT advisories suggests these have not yet degraded to a point of failure. Given the absence of recorded defects, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of high-wear components that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT failure. A test drive should prioritize listening for knocks or clunks from the suspension linkages and steering rack, which are common wear points for vehicles exceeding 100,000 miles. Any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds should be noted, as these can indicate alignment issues or worn bushings not yet flagged by a tester. Attention should be paid to the operation of the braking system, feeling for any pedal judder or binding calipers that could suggest uneven disc wear. While the emissions and structural integrity have passed recent tests, a visual check for oil misting around the engine bay is advisable to ensure no new leaks have developed since the May 2025 inspection. The lack of recorded corrosion in the MOT history is a positive indicator, but a physical check of the subframe and chassis rails remains necessary to confirm the absence of surface rust.
