2019 Land Rover R Rover Evoque First ED D A 2.0L Diesel · E13 LAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 85,090 miles resulted in a failure due to critical tyre condition, including exposed cords on the front. While it passed just 11 miles later at 85,101 miles, the presence of perishing rubber, structural damage, and multiple nails suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when they threatened the MOT certificate rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 85,101 miles over seven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,157 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a petrol car. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 15,683 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This accelerated mileage puts significant stress on high-wear components, particularly the suspension and braking system, which are already showing signs of strain in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the drivetrain, specifically the offside front outer CV boot which was flagged as deteriorated in late 2025. If this boot tears further, grease loss will lead to an expensive driveshaft joint failure. The recurring issues with thin tread and perishing rubber across multiple axles suggest a lack of attention to tyre pressure and alignment, which could causing uneven wear. Additionally, the thin brake pad noted in December 2023 indicates that the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval, requiring a check of the discs for scoring or heat damage.
