2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · GY16 VDV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address deteriorating braking components. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 92,429 miles passed, the tester flagged the front brake discs as pitted and scored. This follows a pattern established back in April 2023 where both front and rear discs were noted for similar wear. The data suggests the owner is only replacing components once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At a recorded mileage of 92,429 miles over ten years, the Range Rover reflects a consistent and typical usage pattern of approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 and April 2023, where the vehicle covered roughly 4,400 miles in seventeen months. However, the accumulation of 4,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates regular use, which aligns with the wear patterns observed on the braking hardware and tyres. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The recurring reports of pitting and scoring on the discs indicate frequent exposure to moisture or corrosive salts, which can lead to seized calipers or uneven pad wear. The 2023 failure regarding the driver's door internal mechanism also suggests potential mechanical neglect in the door assemblies that should be checked for smooth operation. Given the age and mileage, specific attention should also be paid to the rubber components and control arm bushings, as the history notes tyre perishing as early as 2020.
