2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · CA17 THD

The Range Rover Evoque passed its most recent MOT on 14 April 2026 at 36,257 miles, approximately three months ago from today's date. This is a current test result, providing reliable insight into the vehicle's present condition. The test recorded two advisories: worn brake discs on both front inner faces with significant corrosion, and an offside front inner tyre approaching the legal tread limit at 1.60 mm. The brake disc condition is not new; the same issue appeared in February 2025 when both front discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored. The recurrence of this advisory across consecutive tests indicates a worsening trend rather than isolated wear. Tyre wear at the edge suggests possible misalignment or sustained underinflation, which a buyer should investigate further. The recorded mileage of 36,257 miles at approximately eight years old represents an average of around 4,532 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows steady mileage accumulation: 20,746 miles in April 2022, rising to 25,150 miles in April 2023, 28,079 miles in April 2024, 30,585 miles in February 2025, and 36,257 miles in April 2026. The jump of 5,672 miles between February 2025 and April 2026 suggests increased usage during this period, though the overall profile remains consistent with a low-mileage, possibly part-time or weekend-driven vehicle. Extended periods of standing can accelerate corrosion on brake discs and suspension components, which may explain the recurring brake surface degradation noted in the test records. The brake disc corrosion and pitting on the front axle warrants close physical inspection before purchase. Corroded disc faces reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distances, particularly in wet conditions. The tester specifically noted both inner faces were affected, which often indicates moisture ingress into the wheel housing or infrequent driving patterns. The tyre advisory on the offside front inner edge at 1.60 mm suggests the vehicle may benefit from a four-wheel alignment check and tyre pressure audit. Although the Evoque has no recorded structural advisories or suspension flags across its five-year MOT history, the low-mileage profile means rubber bushes, seals, and brake components may have aged disproportionately to their mileage. A compression test and underbody inspection for corrosion on subframes and mounting points would provide additional reassurance regarding long-term structural integrity.
