2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · CE66 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-06-03 at 103,247 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The consistency of passing marks—five consecutive tests between 2022 and 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures that would suggest neglect or systemic issues. However, the single failure in 2024 (at 99,295 miles) was unusually brief, occurring just two days before the subsequent retest, which raises suspicion of a temporary oversight rather than a persistent problem. The absence of advisories or repeated faults implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence exists of proactive servicing beyond statutory MOT requirements. The recorded mileage progression shows steady accumulation, averaging around 10,300 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (4,370 miles in a year) is slightly higher than the subsequent intervals, but this does not deviate significantly from expected wear patterns. There is no evidence of prolonged periods of inactivity or rapid mileage spikes that might indicate aggressive driving or deferred maintenance. The lack of mileage gaps exceeding 18 months also suggests the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could exacerbate issues like suspension corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise components that commonly fail or degrade at this mileage without clear historical indicators. The suspension system—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear, fluid leaks, or binding movements, as these are often silent failures until they become critical. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven thickness or glazing, especially if the vehicle’s braking performance has not been documented. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around wheel arches and sills, should be checked, as aluminium-bodied vehicles like this are susceptible to hidden pitting that accelerates with exposure. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points in older SUVs that often go unnoticed until they affect passability.
