2023 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN SE Phev A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH72 DYV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 January 2026, following a failure in December 2025. The failure was attributed to a non-functional nearside rear outer position lamp, which is a minor electrical defect and not indicative of systemic mechanical neglect. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the primary failure was a simple consumable item that was promptly addressed to achieve the subsequent pass. With 30,000 miles recorded over approximately three years, the vehicle has averaged 10,000 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a balanced duty cycle. There is no evidence of excessive mileage that would necessitate premature replacement of major drivetrain components, nor is there evidence of prolonged standing which often leads to seized calipers or perished seals. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the advisory regarding water ingress in the nearside rear light unit. Water penetration in these sealed units can lead to internal corrosion of the circuitry, resulting in intermittent lighting failures or complete unit failure over time. During a physical inspection, check for condensation or visible droplets inside the lens. On a test drive, ensure all lighting functions are operating correctly and check for any dashboard warnings related to the electrical system. Given the vehicle is a plug-in hybrid with typical mileage, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure calendar-based fluid changes have been performed regardless of the mileage. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for uneven wear or cracking and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or scoring. Ensure the high-voltage battery charging cycles are functioning correctly and that the 12V starter battery is maintaining a healthy voltage, as these systems can be sensitive to usage patterns. Finally, listen for any abnormal clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs during low-speed manoeuvres.
