2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · CH65 HAR

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of deferred repairs regarding consumable wear items. The most recent test in January 2026 at 89,143 miles flagged multiple points of attention, including worn rear shock absorbers, thin brake pads, pitted rear discs, and a perishing tyre. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these faults across the last three tests suggests the previous owner consistently waited for MOT deadlines to address issues rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 12,233 miles between the January 2025 test (76,910 miles) and the January 2026 test (89,143 miles), indicating a period of higher annual use. However, the recurring mention of perishing tyres across multiple years suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which causes rubber components to age and crack despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension system, as the tester noted reduced damping in both shocks in 2026 and worn bushes in 2023. The braking system shows a history of neglect with scored discs and thin pads appearing in 2023 and 2026, which likely implies the current components are nearing requiring immediate replacement. Given the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and perishing, a professional alignment check and inspection of the suspension bushings are essential to ensure no underlying mechanical faults are causing premature tyre degradation.
