2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · DU64 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 1 May 2026 at 95,412 miles, which showed no defects. This follows a period of fluctuating maintenance standards between 2021 and 2025. While the vehicle has historically required attention to consumables, the absence of advisories in the latest test suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,951 miles per year. The records show steady usage, moving from 16,623 miles in July 2017 to 95,412 miles in May 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, and the gradual increase in mileage suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy-duty transit. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of wear regarding tyres and braking components. The tester flagged thinning brake pads and worn rear discs in May 2023, following earlier warnings about front pads in July 2022. A failure in April 2024 due to an excessively damaged offside rear brake hose indicates a momentary lapse in preventative maintenance. Furthermore, the vehicle has frequently required new tyres due to cutting, perishing, or being worn close to the legal limit, as seen in the tests in 2021 and 2024. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the suspension and damping systems. The record shows a persistent issue with rear shock absorbers, with light oil misting noted in July 2021 and again in April 2025. While the 2026 test was clean, the history of leaking dampers warrants a thorough check for any renewed weeping or compromised damping performance. Checking the condition of all rubber components, including brake hoses and suspension bushes, is also advisable to ensure the recent pass reflects a comprehensive repair of these recurring wear items.
