2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · LD62 NRU

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards reactive repairs as the mileage increases. The most recent test in June 2026 at 186,888 miles identified an oil leak and corrosion on both rear coil springs. These issues represent a progression from the June 2025 test, where the corroded springs were already flagged as an advisory. While the vehicle passes annually, the appearance of an active oil leak alongside structural corrosion suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where more significant component failures are likely. At 186,888 miles, this Evoque has covered a high volume of distance, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, particularly between 2021 and 2026, where the vehicle clocked over 58,000 miles in five years. There is a notable jump in mileage between 2021 and 2022 of nearly 19,000 miles. This high-frequency usage profile places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the increasing frequency of mechanical defects in the later records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and engine bay. The recurring mention of corroded rear coil springs across 2025 and 2026 indicates they have not been replaced despite being flagged, and the oil leak noted in the 2026 test requires immediate investigation to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more costly seal failure. Additionally, the history of pitted brake discs in 2023 and anti-roll bar linkage play in 2025 suggests that the lower suspension and braking system are nearing the end of their functional life due to the high mileage.
