2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DY SE D A 2.0L Diesel · FN19 FZS

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 51,096 miles, confirming it is currently roadworthy, but the test revealed four advisories—two on the anti-roll bar linkages and one each on a fluid leak and exhaust mounting—that indicate emerging wear in key suspension and exhaust components. The maintenance trend is not improving; the recurrence of ball joint play since the previous test, alongside a new exhaust mounting defect, suggests progressive deterioration in these areas, likely due to age and use rather than sudden failure. The recorded mileage of 51,096 over seven years averages approximately 7,300 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. There are no unusual gaps in testing or sudden spikes in mileage—the 4,559-mile jump between December 2024 and December 2025 aligns with normal annual use. The single failure in March 2024 over an inoperative MIL was resolved within the same month, indicating prompt attention to electronic faults, but no further issues were logged until the recent advisory-heavy test. A buyer should inspect the front anti-roll bar linkages closely for increased play or visible wear, as the repeated advisories suggest these components are nearing end-of-life and may require replacement soon. The exhaust mounting rubber should be checked for cracking or detachment, as its failure could lead to noise, vibration, or even exhaust pipe damage. The minor fluid leak, though not excessive, warrants tracing its source—likely a seal or hose—and verifying it hasn’t progressed since the last test. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake wear in the record, but given the vehicle’s age and the suspension-related advisories, a full underbody inspection for rust, especially around wheel arches and subframe mounts, is strongly advised.
