2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · LR66 AEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-29 at 91,174 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2023-10-12 test recorded a failure at the same mileage, though no specific defects were listed. This inconsistency suggests potential unresolved issues or administrative errors, but the subsequent pass in 2024-04-30 and 2023-10-12 (same date) implies corrective action was taken. The lack of recurring mechanical failures in later tests indicates a resolved or minor issue, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions. The mileage progression shows a significant jump from 62,020 miles in 2022 to 85,697 miles by 2023, reflecting an annual average of 23,677 miles. This rapid accumulation contrasts with the 2024-2025 period, where mileage increased by only 3,331 miles over 12 months. Such fluctuations may indicate periods of heavy use or infrequent motoring, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems. The sparse defect data in later tests does not confirm whether these patterns have led to structural or mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common in high-mileage SUVs. The 2023 failure, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, which could affect emissions compliance. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and body panels, as rust is a known risk for older Land Rovers. Given the gap between the last MOT (April 2025) and the current date (July 2026), verifying up-to-date service records is critical to confirm ongoing maintenance.
