2012 Land Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · KA51 LET

The most recent MOT in January 2026 was a pass, but the vehicle remains subject to significant structural and safety concerns. While the severe braking and suspension failures recorded in December 2025 appear to have been addressed to achieve this pass, the record still shows ongoing issues with seat belt damage and substantial corrosion to the rear subframe, mounting points, sills, and vehicle structure. The vehicle's condition shows a clear trend of worsening. In late 2024, the MOT history showed only minor tyre tread issues. However, by late 2025, the vehicle suffered a series of major safety failures involving the ABS and electronic stability control systems, broken coil springs, and heavily worn brakes. The persistence of structural corrosion through to the most recent test indicates a long-standing and potentially serious issue with the vehicle's integrity. With 170,783 miles recorded over 14 years, this vehicle has been driven heavily, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with the rapid wear seen in the suspension, braking components, and tyres. It also suggests the vehicle has likely been subject to significant mechanical stress, which may be contributing to the advanced state of corrosion found on the chassis and subframe. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside to assess the depth and extent of the corrosion on the sills, chassis, and rear subframe.
