2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · KJ60 TAF

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate issued on 15 July 2025 at 80,329 miles, valid until mid-July 2026. The maintenance trend over the past four years is broadly stable, though the record reveals a notable spike in defects during the 2024 test cycle that was subsequently addressed. The most recent test in July 2025 passed with only minor advisories, indicating the previous faults were rectified. However, the recurrence of rear brake pad wear across consecutive years suggests this remains a persistent consumable issue requiring ongoing monitoring. The mileage progression tells a clear story of changing usage patterns. Between July 2022 and July 2023, the vehicle covered approximately 7,500 miles. The following year, from July 2023 to July 2024, saw a jump to nearly 10,000 miles. Most strikingly, the vehicle accumulated zero miles between the July 2024 test and the July 2025 test, remaining static at 80,329 miles for a full twelve months. This prolonged period of inactivity raises questions about how the vehicle was stored and whether any deterioration occurred while standing, particularly regarding tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and fluid degradation. The 2024 failure flagged a fractured offside front coil spring, a serious structural concern that has since been resolved given the clean 2025 pass. A damaged lower suspension arm mounting was noted in 2025, described as not seriously weakened, but this area warrants close physical inspection for any progressive cracking or corrosion. The repeated advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin, appearing in both 2024 and 2025, points to either aggressive driving habits or a binding caliper issue that may not have been fully diagnosed. A buyer should have a technician measure rear disc thickness and check caliper slide pins for free movement. Beyond the documented advisories, the year-long stationary period demands attention to tyre condition, particularly sidewall cracking and tread integrity, as well as the operation of the bonnet catch mechanism that failed in 2024. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion exacerbated by prolonged standing. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound on paper, but the combination of a fractured spring history, recurring brake wear, and a full year of inactivity means a pre-purchase inspection is strongly advisable.
