2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · DA15 LUH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward worsening mechanical condition. While the Evoque maintained a clean record through 2024 and 2025, the February 2026 test at 104,445 miles revealed multiple developing faults that caused a failure. The subsequent pass ten days later at 104,552 miles shows the immediate issues were addressed but leaves several significant components reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a notable jump of 11,705 miles recorded between February 2025 at 92,841 miles and February 2026 at 104,445 miles. This relatively rapid accumulation of mileage likely explains the transition from a defect-free record to a list of multiple suspension and braking failures, as components are now subjected to higher wear at this mileage interval. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the entire suspension assembly. The February 2026 test flagged oil misting on all three shock absorbers and wear on the long rearward arm bushes on both sides. These issues indicate the damping system is beginning to fail and will soon require replacement to prevent unpredictable handling. Furthermore, the history shows thin brake pads were noted in both 2023 and 2026, suggesting the braking system is undergoing frequent wear and may require a full inspection of discs and calipers. The tyres also represent a point of concern following the 2026 failure for cuts reaching the cords on the nearside front and uneven wear. The wear on the outer edge of the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn steering components that should be verified to avoid premature replacement of new rubber.
