2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol · FD68 KXG

The most recent DVSA MOT test on 31 March 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded, and this follows an equally clean pass on 28 March 2025. Looking across the full six-test history, the pattern indicates a generally well-maintained vehicle, though there have been two advisory items related to the braking system: a worn rear brake pad noted on 20 December 2022 and a pitted or scored front inner brake disc noted on 3 April 2024. The fact that neither of these advisories has reappeared in the two most recent tests suggests that remedial work, likely including pad replacement and possibly disc refurbishment or replacement, was carried out after the 2024 test. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable to improving, with no structural, suspension, steering, or emissions advisories present at any point in the recorded history. With 49,519 miles recorded over approximately seven years, this Evoque has covered around 7,000 miles annually, which sits comfortably within typical usage parameters for a modern premium SUV. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record, and the mileage progression between tests is consistent and gradual rather than erratic, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing or unusually heavy driving. This kind of steady mileage generally allows consumables to wear at a predictable rate and reduces the risk of issues associated with prolonged inactivity, such as seized calipers, dried brake fluid, or perished rubber components. That said, the mileage is now at a level where several major service items may be due or recently completed, and any accompanying service history should be verified. Given the age and mileage profile of this vehicle, a prospective buyer should carry out a thorough physical inspection even though the MOT record is largely clean. The tyres should be examined closely for age-related sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur regardless of tread depth on a vehicle of this age, and the wheels inspected for any kerbing damage. Brake discs, particularly the rears, should be checked visually for signs of corrosion pitting or lipping, as the front inner disc advisory from 2024 suggests that disc wear has been a minor ongoing concern. The 12V battery should be tested for state of health, as batteries in vehicles with average mileage often require replacement around this age, and a weak battery can cause erratic electrical behaviour. All under-bonnet fluid levels and colours should be checked, with particular attention to brake fluid hygroscopy, coolant condition, and any signs of oil weep from the engine or transmission seals. On a test drive, the buyer should listen carefully for any suspension clonks or knocks over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the front suspension arms, bushes, and anti-roll bar links, which are known wear items on Evoques and can deteriorate from road salt exposure. The transmission should be observed for smooth and prompt changes, both warm and from cold, and any shunting, hesitation, or rough idle noted. Steering should be precise with no vibration through the wheel, and the brakes should feel firm and progressive without any pulling to one side, shudder under heavy application, or grinding noises, particularly given the historical brake advisories. Finally, verify that the digital instrument cluster, infotainment system, climate control, and all terrain response modes operate correctly, as electronic refinements on this model are known to develop faults, and confirm full service history documentation including cambelt or timing chain service evidence where applicable.
