2014 Land Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · LL14 VYJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred component replacement. While the car passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 111,743 miles, the tester identified multiple defects that required immediate attention thereafter. The severe deterioration of the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover and the offside front constant velocity boot indicates that rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life. This follows a clean period, suggesting a recent lapse in proactive preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 111,743 miles over twelve years averages to approximately 9,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for this age. There is a significant gap in data between February 2022 and March 2023, during which the vehicle covered over 24,000 miles in just thirteen months. This period of high intensity likely contributed to the fractured offside front coil spring noted in the March 2023 failure at 99,257 miles. The subsequent mileage accumulation has stabilized, but the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components is expected. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The recent deterioration of the CV boot and anti-roll bar linkage suggests that other rubber bushes may be showing signs of cracking or grease leakage, which could lead to premature failure. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding offside front and offside rear tyres worn to the legal limit indicates that the previous owner was delaying tyre replacements until they became hazardous. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and verify the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common areas of concern for this model at this mileage.
