2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DYN S D A 2.0L Diesel · JF02 GAL

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2 July 2025 at 71,987 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant turnaround from the previous year's performance. On 1 July 2024, the vehicle failed with a cluster of issues, yet by the retest on 10 July 2024, those faults had been rectified, leaving only a slight wear advisory on the nearside front brake disc. The subsequent 2025 test confirms that the previous owner addressed the defects promptly, and the car has since been maintained to a standard that presents no current advisories or failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 2020 vehicle. Between the July 2023 test at 49,404 miles and the July 2024 test at 63,996 miles, the vehicle covered 14,592 miles in a single year, indicating a period of heavier use. The mileage then plateaued entirely, showing no increase between the July 2024 pass at 63,996 miles and the July 2025 pass at 71,987 miles, a discrepancy suggesting a recording anomaly or a long period of inactivity followed by a delayed test. Despite this irregularity, the overall annualised rate of roughly 12,000 miles remains within normal parameters for its class. A buyer conducting a physical inspection should focus on the front exhaust system and the nearside front suspension. The 2024 failure flagged a minor exhaust gas leak in the engine bay area along with a defective front exhaust mounting, conditions that can degrade into structural corrosion or exhaust emission failures if not properly repaired. The tester also identified slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint during that same test. While this was rectified for the retest, any clunking from the front end over speed bumps warrants immediate investigation. The rear braking system also demands attention. In 2024, both inner rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and the nearside rear tyre suffered a penetrating nail injury alongside a deep cut reaching the ply. These are not minor consumable issues; they suggest the rear brakes and tyres were neglected for a period. A buyer should inspect the rear disc faces for scoring depth and check the inner rear tyre sidewalls for hidden damage or temporary plug repairs.
