2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · GY67 RKX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-01-27 passed without defects, though it was preceded by a failure just three days earlier on 2025-01-24 at 21,770 miles—an anomaly given no recorded issues. The preceding tests in December 2023 and December 2022 also passed cleanly, suggesting the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile with no recurring mechanical failures. However, the back-to-back tests in January 2025 indicate either a rushed or overly cautious owner, as the mileage change between them was negligible (just one mile). The most recent pass occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable for a low-mileage vehicle, but buyers should verify whether the test was conducted at the earliest possible date to avoid unnecessary retesting. The recorded mileage of 21,771 miles over nine years—approximately 2,419 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Range Rover Evoque’s typical usage patterns. The gaps between tests reveal significant periods of inactivity: from 14,884 miles in December 2022 to 20,724 miles in December 2023 (a 5,840-mile span over a year), and then another 1,047 miles in the final year before the 2025 tests. Such low mileage could imply the vehicle was stored for extended periods, which may accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and suspension components due to prolonged immobility. Buyers should confirm whether the vehicle was regularly driven or left stationary, as this affects the condition of items like coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake fluid integrity. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, no major recurring issues are flagged, but buyers should still conduct a thorough inspection of critical components. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age and potential for corrosion or fatigue. The brakes, though not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and callipers, especially if the vehicle was stored. Examine the underbody for rust around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as low mileage does not preclude structural deterioration. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels, as these consumables degrade over time regardless of mileage. The absence of advisories in the MOT record does not guarantee these areas are flawless—physical inspection is essential.
