2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · DA16 WPO

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on April 2, 2026, at 48,115 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier tests have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows an improvement from multiple brake advisories in 2023 to a clean sheet in the two most recent inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Usage patterns appear consistent, with a gap of 1,326 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,515 miles between 2025 and 2026. While this low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and surface corrosion, as seen in the historical record. A physical inspection should focus on the rear braking system and the condition of the tyres. The June 2023 test at 37,511 miles flagged thin pads and pitted discs on both rear sides, while the 2022 record noted perishing on the nearside rear tyre. Although the 2025 test identified a cut on the offside rear tyre, the buyer must verify that the current tyres lack age-related cracking and that the sidewalls have not suffered from dry rot. Given the low annual mileage, checking the suspension bushings and seals for leaks is also essential, as these components can perish over time regardless of distance driven.
