2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · M7 GON

This 2016 Range Rover Evoque presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 14 July 2025 at 88,136 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is a significant improvement over the January 2022 test, where the tester flagged multiple tyre defects including a damaged nearside front outer sidewall and worn front tread. The subsequent three consecutive clean passes suggest the previous owner addressed those issues promptly and has maintained the vehicle to a consistently high standard since. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year across the ten-year period, which is typical for this age of vehicle. The intervals between tests show steady usage: approximately 6,500 miles between January 2022 and January 2023, then around 13,700 miles over the following twelve months, before settling back to roughly 9,000 miles per annum from 2024 onward. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would indicate long periods of standing or odometer irregularities. The current recorded mileage of 88,136 is exactly the same as the July 2025 test figure, meaning the vehicle has covered negligible distance in the past eleven months, so a buyer should verify whether it has been in regular use or sitting stationary. Despite the clean recent record, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the components historically flagged. The 2022 sidewall damage advisory on the nearside front outer tyre warrants close scrutiny of the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres, along with the spare, for any signs of perishing, bulging, or uneven wear that could indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues. Given the vehicle's age and the typical failure points of the Evoque platform, a thorough underside inspection is advisable, paying particular attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorber condition, as well as the structural integrity of the subframes and suspension mounting points for any corrosion. The braking system should also be assessed for disc thickness, pad wear, and any signs of binding calipers, particularly at the rear, which is a common issue on this model. Finally, with the vehicle having stood for nearly a year, fluid levels, the condition of the cambelt and its ancillary components, and the operation of the air suspension compressor, if fitted, should all be verified before purchase.
