2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · DJ02 AMJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 30 July 2026 at 79,999 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the most recent testing sequence indicates a lapse in basic pre-test checks. The car failed on 29 July 2026 due to a structural bulge in the offside rear tyre and a distorted road wheel, both of which are impact-related issues rather than wear-and-tear. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,667 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 30,651 miles in August 2017 to 79,999 miles in July 2026. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial use. A buyer should closely examine the alloy wheels and tyre sidewalls. The tester flagged a distorted nearside rear wheel in June 2018 and a distorted offside rear wheel in July 2026. This suggests a recurring vulnerability to potholes or curb impact. While the tyre bulge was rectified for the latest pass, the persistence of wheel distortion warrants a physical check for tracking alignment or suspension bush wear. Brake maintenance appears reactive rather than preventative. The tester noted worn rear pads and pitted discs in both October 2021 and December 2022, followed by thin front pads in January 2025. While these are consumable items, the repeated advisories over several years suggest the owner often waited for the MOT to identify wear. A manual inspection of the brake disc thickness and pad life is recommended to ensure they were actually replaced and not simply passed as marginally acceptable.
