2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · MU62 TON

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred suspension and consumable component repairs. The most recent test in August 2025 at 141,062 miles identified a slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This specific issue was previously flagged as an advisory in August 2024 at 125,515 miles, indicating that the component was not replaced during that interval. While the vehicle continues to pass, the persistence of suspension wear suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles annually. There is a steady accumulation of 15,547 miles between the August 2024 and August 2025 tests, which represents typical annual usage. The jump from 107,225 miles in 2022 to 141,062 miles in 2025 shows no significant periods of neglect or unexpectedly high-intensity usage cycles. A buyer must closely inspect the entire front and rear suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and deteriorated dust covers. The tester noted uneven tyre wear on the edges in both 2023 and 2024, which often points to tracking alignment issues or worn suspension bushes consuming tyres prematurely. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in 2024 require a physical check of the current remaining thickness and disc condition for scoring or pitting. Given the high mileage and the recurring suspension faults, a thorough check of the rubber mounts and control arm bushings is essential to ensure no other mechanical components are nearing imminent failure.
