2022 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN S Phev A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · DN72 WWH

With only a single MOT test on record dated 28 November 2025, which returned a clean pass with no advisories or failures, this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque PHEV presents an extremely limited DVSA picture of its mechanical condition. Because the car was first registered in 2022, it became eligible for MOT testing from its third anniversary onwards, meaning what we have here is essentially the inaugural test result. A clean pass on its first MOT is favourable on the surface, but it cannot be interpreted as evidence of long-term soundness — it simply reflects that no statutory defects were identified at that single point in time. There are no earlier advisories to suggest pre-existing wear patterns, nor any failures to flag specific component deterioration. Recorded mileage stands at 28,232 miles over an approximate four-year span, yielding an annual accumulation of around 7,058 miles. This is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and class, neither suggesting heavy commercial-style use nor extended periods of standing. Given that the PHEV powertrain combines a petrol engine with electric drive, the moderate mileage figure is mechanically significant — it implies a reasonable duty cycle for the combustion side of the drivetrain rather than prolonged electric-only operation that could leave the petrol engine susceptible to issues from infrequent use. There are no notable gaps in the testing record that would imply the vehicle was off the road for any extended period, and no mileage anomalies that might warrant concern about clock discrepancies. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means there are no specific components flagged for particular attention on the test drive. Nevertheless, the Evoque PHEV is known for sensitivity to certain areas, and a thorough inspection should focus on the plug-in hybrid system as a whole, including the high-voltage cable connections at the charge port, the integrity of the underfloor battery protection, and any warning messages relating to hybrid operation on the dashboard. On the road, listen carefully for any irregular clunks from the engine or transmission during light throttle transitions between electric and petrol drive, and confirm that the system switches smoothly without hesitation or unexpected engine start-up. Steering should remain precise without pulling, and the suspension should absorb bumps without secondary knocks from the front subframe area, which is a known corrosion hotspot on earlier Evoque models. Given the modest mileage and single clean test, the brake discs and pads should still retain significant material, but verify that the rear electronic parking brake releases cleanly without judder or binding. Tyres should be checked for even wear across both axles, as uneven shoulder wear can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion around the rear subframe mounting points, trailing arm brackets, and brake pipe runs, as these areas can deteriorate even on relatively young vehicles exposed to winter road treatments. Finally, confirm full functionality of the infotainment, climate control, and hybrid drive mode selector before purchase, as electronic faults on complex PHEV systems can prove disproportionately costly to rectify and would not necessarily be captured within the scope of an MOT test.
