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

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the July 2025 test, passing with only minor tyre damage noted. The most recent MOT revealed cuts in the nearside and offside front tyres that do not expose ply or cords, indicating wear but not immediate danger. However, the recurring issues with brake pad wear and suspension component play suggest ongoing maintenance neglect. The brake pad condition has been flagged since June 2024, with thinning observed on both rear pads, while the anti-roll bar bushing showed slight play in the same test. These issues point to a deteriorating mechanical state rather than a stable one. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows a consistent upward trend over seven years, averaging approximately 12,893 miles annually. Mileage jumped significantly from 38,429 miles in March 2022 to 60,230 miles in May 2023, followed by another jump to 78,405 miles in June 2024. A gap in MOT records exists between March 2022 and May 2023, during which no tests were conducted despite the substantial increase in mileage. This lack of inspection during such a rapid usage period raises concerns about the absence of routine checks for wear items such as brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyre condition. Brake system wear is a key concern, with thinning rear brake pads appearing in the June 2024 test and persisting through to the latest test. Suspension components, particularly the nearside front anti-roll bar bushing, have shown signs of wear and play. These elements require careful examination in person, especially given the reported wear patterns. Tyre condition also warrants attention, with cuts present in the front tyres that may worsen without regular replacement. Structural integrity appears unaffected based on the MOT history, but the presence of recurring brake and suspension issues indicates a need for proactive maintenance. Buyers should inspect the rear brake systems closely, particularly the pads and calipers, as they have shown progressive wear. Suspension bushes, including those associated with the anti-roll bar, should be checked for excessive play or damage. Tyre condition requires verification, especially the front tyres where cuts were noted. Any signs of corrosion or structural fatigue in the chassis or bodywork should also be reviewed. The vehicle’s maintenance history suggests a pattern of delayed servicing, which could lead to more costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
