2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · MT67 DFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred brake maintenance. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 58,906 miles passed, the front brake discs were again noted as pitted and scored. This issue is recurring dating back to the 2022 test at 39,300 miles, suggesting that the previous owners only replaced components when they reached the MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 26,874 miles in late 2020 to nearly 59,000 miles by late 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of standing, though the failure in December 2020 due to a damaged nearside rear tyre indicates that basic safety checks were occasionally overlooked before the recurring tyre issues seen in 2021 and 2024. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The repeated advisories for pitting and scoring on both front and rear discs indicate high levels of corrosion or neglect, which can lead to caliper binding. You should verify if the brake pads and discs have actually been replaced since the 2024 test. Given the history of uneven tyre wear noted in both 2021 and 2024, check the wheel alignment and suspension bushes for excessive play to ensure no mechanical faults are causing the premature tyre degradation.
