2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DYN S D A 2.0L Diesel · GU69 JYN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in September 2025 at 37,841 miles, but the recent maintenance trend shows a period of significant mechanical neglect shortly before that date. The failure in August 2025 at just two miles after the previous test revealed critical issues, including an inoperative engine management light, structural failure of the nearside rear tyre, and excessive wear on both front wishbone bushes. While these faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the cluster of failures in a single month suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 37,841 miles represents low annual usage, averaging 5,400 miles per year. The data shows inconsistent usage patterns, with a gap of nearly 7,000 miles between June 2023 and July 2024, followed by a rapid accumulation of over 3,000 miles in the months leading up to the failure. Such low mileage can lead to rubber components degrading due to stationary time, which aligns with the delamination of the suspension bushes noted in 2025. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the previous delamination of the wishbone bushes indicates that other rubber components may be nearing their end. The braking system also requires close attention; the July 2024 test flagged thin rear pads, suggesting the owner may overlook service intervals until failure occurs. Given the inoperative engine management light reported in 2025, a professional diagnostic scan is essential to ensure no hidden fault codes were cleared rather than repaired.
