2019 Land Rover R Rover Evoque First ED D A 2.0L Diesel · DU55 DRU

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a minor worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 51,903 miles passed, yet carried repeated advisories for cracking and perishing on both rear tyres. This mirrors the advisory from December 2024 at 44,304 miles, indicating a pattern of not replacing aged rubber despite multiple warnings. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Data shows steady progression between the November 2022 test at 22,036 miles and the December 2023 test at 34,899 miles, followed by a jump of nearly 9,400 miles leading to the December 2024 inspection. This regular usage suggests typical operating patterns rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the mechanical health of a Land Rover's complex drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear tyres, as the recurring perishing suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or been exposed to harsh environmental conditions. The split exhaust mounting rubber noted in late 2024 should be verified for replacement to ensure the system remains properly secured and free from vibration. Given the age and model, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable, as the MOT record does not capture the structural wear or rubber degradation common on this platform.
