2020 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN HSE D A 2.0L Diesel · KW70 BYY

The Evoque presents a stable and improving maintenance record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2 August 2025 at 37,462 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. This marks a clear shift from the previous two tests, which both flagged the same recurring issue with the offside front tyre. The resolution of that defect and the subsequent clean bill of health suggest the previous owner addressed the underlying cause, likely a suspension alignment or tracking fault, rather than simply replacing the rubber and ignoring the root problem. The mileage profile is unremarkable and entirely consistent with typical use. The vehicle has covered approximately 14,307 miles over the two-year period between the August 2023 test at 23,155 miles and the August 2025 test at 37,462 miles, averaging roughly 7,150 miles per year. This sits comfortably within the expected range for a six-year-old vehicle and indicates regular, steady use rather than prolonged standing or excessively hard driving. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded mileage that would raise concerns about a rolled-back odometer. The recurring advisory regarding the offside front tyre wearing on its inner edge in both the 2023 and 2024 tests is the most significant technical detail in this history. Inner-edge wear on a front tyre is a classic diagnostic signature of excessive negative camber or a worn suspension bush, most commonly the lower arm bush or the track rod end. The fact that the defect vanished by the 2025 test strongly implies a mechanical repair was carried out, but a prospective buyer should still verify this physically. A close visual inspection of the inner sidewalls of both front tyres is essential to confirm the wear is now even across the tread face. Beyond the tyre wear, the 2023 failure for an ineffective front wiper is a minor consumable issue and carries no long-term mechanical significance. Given the clean 2025 result, the primary focus of any pre-purchase inspection should be the front suspension geometry. Have a specialist check the condition of the front lower suspension arms, bushes, and track rod ends for any play. Confirm the wheel alignment is within specification to ensure the corrective work done in 2024 or early 2025 has held and that the new tyre wear pattern remains uniform.
