2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · EX14 CFJ

The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the historical data, the vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, having passed every test since 2020. While there was a period between 2023 and 2025 where advisories for tyre wear and brake disc condition were recurring, the clean result in the latest inspection suggests that these consumable items have been addressed. This indicates a responsible approach to maintenance where the owner has reacted to the warnings provided in previous certificates to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy. With 95,484 miles recorded over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,957 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for a premium SUV of this vintage and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty mileage. Such a profile is generally positive as it prevents the stagnation of fluids and the seizing of mechanical components, although it means the vehicle is entering a phase where wear on suspension bushings, engine mounts, and drivetrain consumables becomes more prevalent. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the previous recurring advisories regarding tyres worn on the edges. This specific type of wear often points to underlying issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and steering components. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any clunks or knocks when turning the steering wheel or traversing uneven road surfaces and visually inspect the current tyres for uneven tread depth. Furthermore, the history of pitted and lipped rear brake discs suggests a susceptibility to surface corrosion or heavy wear. Even with a clean current MOT, it is advisable to check for any brake shudder or pulsations through the pedal during deceleration to confirm the discs have been replaced rather than simply cleaned. Beyond the MOT records, the vehicle's age necessitates a thorough check of calendar-based maintenance. The buyer should verify the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and transmission fluid intervals, as these are critical for the long-term health of the drivetrain. A physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounting points, is recommended. Additionally, the condition of the 12V battery should be tested, and the rubber seals around the windows and sunroof should be inspected for perishing to ensure no water ingress has occurred, which can lead to electrical faults in this particular model.
