2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · GY65 XJB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT in February 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears reactive, following a significant failure just one day prior to that test at 71,980 miles due to excessive wear on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints. The fact that these components were replaced immediately to secure a passing certificate indicates the current owner is responsive to safety-critical failures rather than allowing faults to deteriorate. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use cycles, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year over the eleven-year period. Between the February 2023 test at 52,158 miles and the February 2024 test at 60,075 miles, the vehicle covered 8,000 miles. The interval between 2024 and 2026 saw another 11,906 miles. This steady progression suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods ofo, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, given the recent failure of the ball joints. While these were rectified, the buyer should check for play in the control arm bushings and linkages to ensure the wear is not systemic. The 2024 record noted pitted rear brake discs and perishing rear tyres; although these may have been replaced, the inspector must verify the current condition for even wear and check for signs of dry cracking around the sidewalls, which is common on low-mileage vehicles of this age.
