2020 Land Rover R Rover Evoque R-DYN HSE D A 2.0L Diesel · LJ20 XVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The most recent test in February 2026 at 48,141 miles flagged both front brake pads as wearing thin. This continues a clear trend where components are only addressed once they reach a failure or advisory threshold. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring nature of brake-related advisories suggests the owner waits for MOT deadlines rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 10,000 miles between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 6,000 miles leading into the 2025 test. This suggests regular use, though the failure in February 2024 at 35,583 miles due to exposed cords on both front tyres highlights a significant lapse in monitoring basic safety equipment prior to that specific inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The record shows rear brake discs were pitted and scored in 2023 and 2024, with thin pads noted across three consecutive years. You should verify if the discs have since been replaced or if they still suffer from surface corrosion. Additionally, the offside front anti-roll bar linkage was flagged with play in 2024; ensure the entire front suspension and bushings are checked for movement or uneven wear, as these components are prone to degradation on this model.
