2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DYN D A 2.0L Diesel · FV69 FSN

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑08‑04 recorded a failure due to exhaust emissions exceeding the manufacturer’s limit and visible smoke from the diesel particulate filter, together with rear brake pads wearing thin on both sides. The preceding test on 2025‑05‑07 also failed, adding non‑functioning daytime running lamps and rear pads close to the replacement limit. The pattern shows a deteriorating trend rather than a stable or improving condition. Mileage accumulation has been uneven. Over the six‑year life the car has covered 35 605 miles, averaging roughly 5 934 miles per year, which is low for its age. However, the jump from 25 474 miles at the March 2024 pass to 35 551 miles at the May 2025 failure represents about 10 077 miles in roughly nine months, indicating a recent surge in usage or higher‑load operation. The final 54‑mile increase between the two 2025 tests suggests the vehicle was driven shortly before the August inspection. A buyer should inspect the rear brake assembly for pad thickness, disc condition and any caliper binding, as repeated thin‑pad advisories point to possible wear‑related degradation. The exhaust system, particularly the DPF and associated sensors, must be examined for smoke generation and excessive emissions, given two consecutive failures on this fault. The daytime running lamps should be tested for circuit integrity, and the offside front tyre inspected for edge wear noted in 2023. Finally, a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of corrosion on the chassis will reveal whether the low‑mileage history has masked structural fatigue.
