2013 Land Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · K6 JVP

The most recent MOT in January 2026 was a pass, but it immediately highlights two key issues that need attention: a nail in the nearside rear tyre requiring removal, and a windscreen chip that is noted as not affecting the driver's view. A recurring brake fluctuation on the nearside rear was also recorded. The clear mechanical pattern over the last five years is a persistent problem with tyre condition and wear, alongside related suspension and brake wear. Specific advisories for tyres worn close to the limit, damaged, or perishing appear in the 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests. This suggests a history of either low-quality replacements, incorrect wheel alignment, or suspension issues causing uneven wear that has not been permanently rectified. The trend looks stable rather than rapidly worsening, as the same categories of fault keep appearing at each test. However, this stability indicates an ongoing pattern of deferred or incomplete maintenance. The vehicle is being kept just within legal limits rather than being thoroughly maintained. Regarding the mileage, there is a very serious anomaly. The 2025 MOT shows a recorded mileage of 134,618 miles, while the 2026 test records 92,215 miles.
