2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · LA54 ENG

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the February 2026 test at 42,618 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available records, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A peculiar entry shows a failed test on 16 February 2026 at the same mileage immediately followed by a pass on the same day, and an identical pattern occurred on 19 to 20 February 2025 at 36,763 miles, suggesting administrative or presentation errors rather than genuine mechanical defects. The Evoque shows low annual use for its nine-year life, accumulating just 42,618 miles or circa 4,735 miles per year. From the February 2024 test at 33,256 miles to February 2025 at 36,763 miles the car covered 3,507 miles, then 5,855 miles to February 2026 at 42,618 miles. The gradual year-on-year rise indicates steady light private use with no dormant gaps or sudden high-mileage bursts. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, recording no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age and the possibility of moisture ingress during low-use standing periods. The absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test, yet the repeated same-day fail-pass anomalies warrant verification of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect data exists. Given the unbroken pass record from February 2024 onwards and low mileage, the mechanical risk profile appears low for a 2017 premium SUV. Prioritise a pre-purchase check of coil springs, steering joints, and brake line corrosion to validate the clean MOT trail against real-world wear.
