2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · L3 KTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of unresolved electronic faults. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 54,687 miles, this followed an immediate failure that same day due to an inoperative engine management indicator light. This specific fault mirrors a failure from November 2024 at 48,665 miles, where the MIL also failed to indicate a malfunction. The fact that the vehicle passed only after these failures suggests a persistent sensor or wiring issue that may not have been fully rectified by the previous owner. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between September 2019 and November 2020, where the car covered only 7,000 miles in fourteen months. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion from stationary periods. The vehicle has covered 6,022 miles since the November 2024 test, indicating a continued pattern of short-distance use. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and electronics. The records from late 2020 and 2024 show a history of thin brake pads, pitted discs, and worn tyres, suggesting that consumable maintenance is performed reactively rather than through a preventative schedule. The sticking fuel cap noted in 2024 is a minor but persistent mechanical nuisance. Most importantly, the repeated MIL-related failures require a professional diagnostic scan to ensure the engine management system is not masking deeper mechanical issues that could lead to significant repair costs in the future.
