2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · FV63 KYR

The vehicle history shows a recurring pattern of tyre and suspension issues that suggests inconsistent attention to consumable-related maintenance. In the October 2023 test at 83,512 miles, the car failed artwork to an offside front tyre with exposed cords and a significant cut on the nearside rear. While these issues were rectified by the October 2024 test at 90,113 miles, the most recent inspection in February 2026 at 94,231 miles revealed new mechanical concerns. The tester flagged a low headlamp aim and multiple suspension-related defects, indicating the vehicle is currently entering a period of increased component fatigue. The mileage progression averages approximately 7,250 miles per year, which is relatively low for a 13-year-old vehicle. However, the February 2026 failure highlights specific wear points, including the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and nearside front lower suspension arm bushes. The presence of worn bushes without excessive movement indicates a standard degradation of rubber components that should be monitored for further play. The failure on the headlamp aim in the latest test is a minor adjustment issue but, combined with the suspension wear, suggests the vehicle has not undergone a comprehensive mechanical overhaul recently. A prospective buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the entire front suspension geometry and anti-roll system, as these areas have already shown as points of failure. The history of tyre damage in 2023 suggests the previous owner may have only addressed faults once they reached a MOT failure threshold. While the vehicle passed its most recent test after repairs, the recurring nature of the bushes and linkages indicates that further expenditure on suspension arms and links is likely necessary shortly to maintain roadworthiness.
