2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · GK61 ACV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-02-14 recorded a pass at 130,203 miles, but a conflicting failed result on the same date with no defects noted raises ambiguity. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance record. The absence of critical issues in these tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the 2025 failure without explanation warrants further scrutiny. Mileage progression shows steady annual growth, from 110,679 miles in 2022 to 130,203 in 2025, aligning with the 9,300-mile average for its age. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, indicating consistent usage. The 2025 test, however, occurred over 18 months ago, leaving the current mechanical state unverified beyond that date. This gap could signal potential wear in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, which degrade over time without regular inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the underbody for corrosion, particularly in the frame and wheel arches, common in older SUVs. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these can develop without immediate MOT failures. The suspension’s condition, including shock absorbers and anti-roll bars, should be assessed for excessive play or fluid leaks. Additionally, verify the exhaust system’s integrity, as leaks or rust can compromise emissions and safety. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as some issues may only manifest under dynamic testing.
