2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · LD03 EAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 117,879 miles passed, it followed a failure just three days prior involving significant issues including a serious fluid leak from the offside front shock absorber and an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar ball joint. The trend suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during routine servicing. At 117,879 miles over 13 years, the Evoque averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a premium SUV. The mileage data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between June 2023 and 2024, and another 4,800 miles between June 2024 and 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which helps prevent the seal degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The June 2024 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints, a critical component that can be expensive to rectify if wear continues. Furthermore, the 2023 record noted corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. Although not deemed seriously weakened at that time, structural rust on these components requires close monitoring as it can compromise the load-bearing integrity. The record also reveals a recurring pattern of neglecting basic tyre maintenance. Both nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing across three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025, with front tyres failing for legal tread limits in 2024. The buyer should verify the current age and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not again nearing the end of their safety life.
