2022 Land Rover R Rover Evoque A-BIO D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · FT22 RBV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 21 April 2026 at 48,565 miles, with no defects recorded. This suggests the car currently meets all roadworthiness standards, though the preceding test in April 2025 revealed persistent issues—offside rear brake pads wearing thin and nearside rear pads nearing the legal limit, alongside a damaged offside front tyre. The absence of further advisories or failures in the latest test implies these problems were addressed, but the recurring brake pad wear indicates either aggressive driving habits or delayed maintenance. The tyre defect in 2025, now resolved, warrants scrutiny of the wheel alignment and potential road debris impact. The recorded mileage of 48,565 miles over four years—approximately 12,141 miles annually—is unusually high for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the MHEV hybrid powertrain’s typical lower usage patterns. The gap between tests (just over a year) suggests regular servicing, but the rapid mileage accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on suspension components, brake systems, and drivetrain elements. Without pre-MOT service records, it’s impossible to confirm whether maintenance intervals were adhered to, though the lack of earlier MOT failures implies no catastrophic failures occurred between tests. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, focusing on the rear pads and calipers—particularly the offside components—which showed consistent wear. The previous offside front tyre damage hints at potential wheel alignment issues or a history of punctures, so tyres, wheels, and suspension bushes should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion. Given the hybrid nature of the vehicle, the cooling system for the high-voltage battery and associated wiring should also be checked for any signs of degradation or fluid leaks. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be assessed for corrosion, as this is a common failure point in Land Rover models of this age.
