2020 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN S D 4X2 2.0L Diesel · GU20 LTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred consumable repairs. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 59,993 miles, the tester flagged multiple issues including thin rear brake pads and worn tyres. This pattern has persisted across the last three annual tests, suggesting that the previous owner only addresses components when they reach the point of legal failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile of 59,993 miles over six years represents an average usage of approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which is standard for this age. However, there is a significant jump in usage between March 2023 (35,268 miles) and March 2024 (49,911 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 15,000 miles in a single year. The failure in March 2024 due to an offside front tyre with exposed cords indicates a period of severe neglect where tyre integrity was ignored until structural rubber failure occurred. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges across multiple years suggest an underlying tracking issue or worn bushes. The persistent mention of thin rear brake pads in three consecutive tests implies that the braking system is nearing the end of its service life and has not been fully overhauled recently. Given the Land Rover platform's tendencies, attention should be paid to uneven wear on the brake discs to ensure the thin pads have not caused significant scoring or damage to the rotors.
