2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque S D 4X2 2.0L Diesel · CX21 XSW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in early April 2026 at 48,978 miles saw the car fail due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and a pitted nearside front inner brake disc. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of an MIL fault suggests a potential electrical or sensor issue that was not fully addressed prior to the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 24,863 miles in April 2024, 35,366 miles in April 2025, and reached 48,978 miles by April 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and fluid components, though it confirms that consumables are being worked through at standard intervals. A buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system and tyre alignment. The MOT records from 2024 and 2025 show recurring issues with tyres worn to the legal limit or on the edges, which often points to incorrect alignment settings or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, the 2026 failure regarding the pitted nearside front disc warrants a physical inspection of the brake caliper to ensure the piston is not sticking or causing uneven wear. The engine management system should also be scanned with a professional diagnostic tool to ensure the recently cleared MIL does not hide persistent fault codes that could indicate future mechanical failures.
