2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · LP63 KWD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT history demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the November 2025 failure—despite no recorded defects—raises immediate questions about the test’s outcome. The November 2025 test at 93,366 miles passed without failings, yet the preceding day’s failure at 93,355 miles suggests either a procedural anomaly or an undocumented issue resolved between tests. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, indicating the tester did not flag any systemic concerns like suspension degradation, excessive corrosion, or binding calipers during the January 2023 to November 2025 period. The absence of advisories is notable, as they often precede failures in later tests. The mileage progression of 7,780 miles annually is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation. The intervals between tests align with the 12-month MOT cycle, and the recorded mileage at each test confirms consistent usage without evidence of extended periods of disuse. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern to suggest neglect or aggressive driving, though the lack of intermediate servicing records means wear on non-MOT-critical components—such as timing belts, transfer case fluid, or differential seals—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in Land Rover models of this era. The lack of advisories does not preclude hidden corrosion in wheel arches or sills, so structural integrity should be visually inspected for rust penetration. Braking performance warrants scrutiny, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven wear on discs or pads, as the MOT tester did not record any binding calipers or excessive noise. Finally, the drivetrain—including the transfer case and differential—should be checked for leaks, as these are often silent failures until they escalate. The November 2025 failure, despite no defects, suggests a potential oversight in the test process, so verifying the vehicle’s service history for non-MOT items remains critical.
