2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque S D Auto 2.0L Diesel · FN19 FZT

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-06 confirms the vehicle passed without defects, marking a clean conclusion to a period of inconsistent upkeep. Prior to that, the July 2025 tests revealed a pattern of neglect: two consecutive failures in July 2025 (15th and 16th) and a subsequent pass in February 2026, suggesting reactive rather than scheduled maintenance. The recurring issues—worn brake pads, compromised tyres, and a deteriorating exhaust support—indicate a lack of proactive servicing, though the absence of major structural or drivetrain failures in the latest pass suggests these were addressed. The engine MIL fault from July 2025 remains unresolved, which is concerning given its potential to mask underlying emissions or engine control issues. The mileage progression shows steady but unspectacular usage, averaging around 7,181 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The largest gap between tests is between July 2025 and February 2026—a five-month interval covering 1,773 miles—during which the vehicle failed twice before passing. This suggests the owner either deferred necessary repairs or relied on temporary fixes. The consistent annual mileage range (around 4,000–5,000 miles between tests) does not imply aggressive driving but does reflect a pattern of delayed maintenance rather than diligent upkeep. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and pads, given their repeated wear warnings. The tyres—especially the rears—show signs of edge wear and perishing, which could indicate alignment issues or aggressive cornering. The exhaust front support rubber split from 2025 warrants verification that it has been replaced, as prolonged neglect could compromise the exhaust system’s integrity. Finally, the unresolved MIL fault from July 2025 demands diagnostic attention; a scan for active or stored codes is essential to rule out emissions-related or engine management problems. Suspension components, such as the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint from 2023, should also be checked for excessive play or wear.
