2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · KP71 USW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent history indicates a reactive approach to basic maintenance. While the car passed the September 2025 test at 23,244 miles, it initially failed due to thin rear brake pads and a significant structural cut in the nearside front tyre. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass suggests the owner addresses faults only when prompted by legal requirements rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,650 miles annually. Between the September 2024 test at 15,244 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered exactly 8,000 miles. This low rate of use typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to secondary issues like brake disc corrosion or flat spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system to ensure the thin rear pads have not caused uneven wear or scoring on the discs. The failure regarding the nearside front tyre reaching the cords indicates a potential impact-related injury, so a check of the inner sidewall and wheel alignment is necessary to rule out deformation. Given the low mileage, also inspect the rubber components and suspension bushes for cracking, as these often suffer from age-related degradation regardless of the distance driven.
