2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · FM68 PCX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance record with no serious mechanical defects reported over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 21 October 2025 at 60,024 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects noted. Prior to this, the only recorded failure occurred on 25 October 2024 at 47,631 miles, where the tester flagged rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm thick. The owner rectified this consumable wear immediately, securing a pass later the same day. This pattern indicates prompt attention to wear items rather than neglect. Mileage accumulation has accelerated recently compared to the vehicle's lifetime average. While the eight-year lifespan averages roughly 7,500 miles per year, the record shows a significant jump from 34,908 miles in October 2023 to 47,631 miles in October 2024. The vehicle covered over 12,700 miles during that 12-month period. A similar increase of approximately 12,400 miles occurred by the October 2025 test. This consistent higher annual usage suggests the car is actively used rather than sitting idle, which is generally beneficial for mechanical longevity. Given the history of rear brake pad replacement, a close examination of the current braking system is prudent to ensure the pads and discs have worn evenly since the repair. Although the MOT history lacks advisories for suspension or corrosion, typical Range Rover Evoque vulnerabilities such as suspension arm bushes and shock absorbers should be checked physically. The absence of structural or engine warnings in the log is positive, yet a pre-purchase inspection remains the best method to verify the condition of the drivetrain and electrical systems, which are not fully assessed during a standard MOT.
