2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · MA12 KON

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the March 2025 test at 58,336 miles. This most recent result shows no defects, suggesting that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend has improved significantly since the 2022 failure, moving from a high volume of consumable and brake-related defects to a period of clean passes over the last three years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 6,482 miles per year, which is relatively light. The record shows steady progress from 21,203 miles in October 2020 to the current 58,336 miles. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy mileage spikes that might suggest unusual drivetrain stress or neglected service intervals. The August 2022 failure at 30,617 miles highlights a period of neglected basic upkeep. The tester flagged multiple issues including incorrect registration plates, a faulty nearside wiper, and significant tyre damage, including cuts reaching the cords. The presence of pitted and scored brake discs alongside low service brake efficiency indicates that the braking system was not being monitored closely at that time. While the 2025 test shows these issues are resolved, the history suggests a previous owner who may have been reactive rather than proactive with consumable maintenance. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres to ensure the current standard is maintained. Given the previous reports of pitted brake discs and efficiency failures, check for any signs of binding calipers or uneven pad wear. Inspect the windscreen and wiper assembly for clarity, and examine the tyre sidewalls for any recurring cuts or bulges. Although no structural corrosion or suspension defects have appeared in the records, the previous neglect of tyres and brakes warrants a close look at the overall condition of the underbody and wheel arches.
