2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · D22 KAV

Against this recorded mileage the MOT history is broadly clean but not unblemished, with six tests showing five passes free of advisories or defects and only one pass carrying flagged items. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 was a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a stable pattern rather than a worsening one. However, three earlier tests contain items worth weighing. In 2024 the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which is consistent with the elevated annual mileage the vehicle has covered. In 2021 both front and rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin, again a logical consequence of regular road use. A wiper blade defect in 2022 was a minor issue of negligible mechanical consequence. There are no recorded failures, no structural or corrosion advisories, and no suspension or steering defects across the six-year MOT window, which suggests the chassis and related components have not yet drawn examiner attention. At 118,326 miles over nine years this Range Rover Evoque has covered approximately 13,147 miles annually, a notably high figure for its age class. This rate exceeds typical private-use accumulation and points to sustained, consistent road use rather than long periods of standing. Mechanically, such usage accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs, brake fluid, drive belts and the dual-clutch or automatic transmission internals depending on variant, and places ongoing load on suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links and wheel bearings. The fact that MOT advisories have tracked precisely with this high-mileage usage pattern, showing tyre wear in 2024 and brake pad wear in 2021, supports a direct mileage-to-wear correlation rather than isolated component failure. There are no unusual gaps between tests; the annual cadence is consistent with continuous use and there is no evidence of a multi-year lay-up that could raise separate concerns about seized brakes, perished hoses or a discharged battery. For a prospective buyer, the priority inspection areas follow directly from the recorded wear pattern. The 2024 advisory on front tyres worn close to the limit and on the edge warrants a close look at the current tread depth across all four corners and an inspection for uneven shoulder wear, which on a Range Rover Evoque can indicate worn front suspension bushes, drop links, or tracking misalignment. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking from the front end over speed humps and uneven surfaces, and feel for any vagueness or delay in steering response, as these are common Evoque-specific suspension symptoms at this mileage. The 2021 advisories on front and rear brake pads mean the discs and pads will almost certainly have been replaced at least once since, so inspect current pad and disc thickness directly, check for lipping on the disc edges, and look for binding calipers by confirming the wheels rotate freely when jacked and that the vehicle does not pull to one side under moderate braking. Given the higher than average mileage, a thorough check of all suspension arms, bushes and anti-roll bar linkages is warranted even though they have not yet been flagged, and any signs of rear subframe or mounting corrosion should be examined given the Evoque's known susceptibility in this area.
