2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · MR55 KGS

The most recent MOT, carried out on 29 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the statutory safety and emissions standards. Over the past three years the pattern shows a generally stable maintenance record, with a single failure in August 2024 caused by excess exhaust emissions and a tyre advisory that appears to have been remedied, as the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests returned clean passes. This suggests that any issues identified in 2024 were addressed promptly and that the overall trend is now improving rather than deteriorating. At 75,149 miles on the odometer for a vehicle first registered in 2015, the average annual mileage works out to roughly 6,800 miles, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope for a vehicle of this age. There are no obvious periods of unusually high mileage accumulation that would point to severe wear on high‑stress components, nor are there large mileage gaps that might indicate long periods of storage. The moderate mileage implies that consumables such as brake pads, clutch, and tyre tread will be in a mid‑life condition, but age‑related degradation of rubber and metal parts should still be expected. The 2024 advisory concerning a nail in the off‑side rear tyre and the note of slight damage or cracking on both rear tyres warrants a thorough visual inspection of the tyre sidewalls for any embedded objects, bulges, or dry rot, especially given the vehicle’s eleven‑year age. On a test drive listen for irregular thumping, vibration, or a pull to one side that could indicate a compromised tyre or damaged wheel rim. The emissions failure recorded in 2024 suggests that the exhaust after‑treatment system, including the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, may have been out of tolerance; a modern diagnostic scan should verify that the O₂ sensor readings are stable and that there are no lingering exhaust leaks. Any persistent smoke, a noticeable drop in fuel economy, or a rough idle could be symptoms of an unresolved emissions issue that would need addressing before the next MOT. Beyond the specific tyre and emissions points, the buyer should treat the vehicle as an eleven‑year‑old model and conduct age‑appropriate checks. Examine the battery for terminal corrosion and verify that it holds a charge, as calendar ageing can reduce capacity even with low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or uneven wear, and confirm that the pads have sufficient thickness and that the calipers move freely without binding. Look over the suspension bushings, ball joints and coil springs for any signs of cracking, leakage or excessive play, which can manifest as clunking over bumps. Finally, assess the condition of all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – and confirm whether they have been changed at the recommended intervals; discoloured or gritty fluids are an indication that a service is overdue. A complete service book with regular stamps will reinforce confidence that the vehicle has been maintained in line with manufacturer recommendations.
