2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque S Auto 2.0L Petrol · OO54 SHZ

The vehicle holds a current MOT valid until June 2025, having passed its most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 49,422 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but reveals a persistent pattern of rear brake and tyre wear that demands attention. The tester flagged rear brake pads below 1.5 mm and both rear tyres worn to the legal limit during the initial failure, then recorded the same tyre wear advisories on the pass result later that same day. This indicates the rear braking system and tyres were operating at minimum legal tolerances at the time of the last inspection. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a six-year-old vehicle. The car covered roughly 13,557 miles between June 2023 at 34,030 miles and July 2024 at 47,714 miles, then added only 1,708 miles in the following twelve months leading to the June 2025 test. That sharp drop in annual mileage suggests either a change in ownership, reduced daily use, or a period of limited driving. The overall average of approximately 8,237 miles per year sits within normal parameters for this model. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the rear braking system and suspension components. The repeated advisories for rear brake pads wearing thin across multiple tests, culminating in a failure for pads below 1.5 mm, point to either aggressive driving habits or a binding rear caliper that accelerates pad wear. The rear tyres consistently show edge wear and cracking between tread blocks, which is a classic indicator of worn suspension bushes, deteriorated dampers, or misaligned tracking. The front brake pads were also flagged as wearing thin in June 2023, so the entire braking system warrants a thorough check for disc thickness, caliper slide pin operation, and handbrake mechanism function. The tyre-related advisories across both 2024 and 2025 tests reveal more than simple consumable wear. Cuts to the rear tyres, exposed ply on the offside front, and cracking between tread blocks suggest the vehicle may have been driven over kerbs or poorly maintained roads, placing additional stress on suspension geometry. A buyer should inspect the inner wings, sills, and subframe mounting points for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the Land Rover Evoque's known susceptibility to structural rust in these areas. The near-complete absence of mechanical advisories beyond brakes and tyres is encouraging, but the rear-end wear pattern strongly suggests the suspension and steering components need hands-on evaluation before purchase.
