2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · OV16 YOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening mechanical component wear. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 90,452 miles passed without defects, the previous year revealed several significant issues related to the braking and steering systems. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple failures in 2024 suggests the vehicle is entering a period requiring more intensive preventative maintenance. At approximately ten years of age, the Range Rover has averaged roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this type. The mileage accumulation appears steady, with a 5,538-mile interval recorded between September 2024 and September 2025. There is no evidence of long periods of neglect or excessive annual mileage, but the consistent use has likely contributed to the degradation of high-wear components as noted in the service history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the steering and braking assemblies. The 2024 test flagged offside front play in the' rack inner joints, a critical item that should be verified as having been professionally rectified. Furthermore, the recurring history of worn, pitted brake discs and thin pads across both axles in 2023 and 2024 indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life cycle. Additionally, the 2025 report noted that under trays and engine bay covers were obscuring certain components. It is advisable to request a visual inspection of the underbody to ensure these hidden areas are not suffering from structural corrosion or fluid leaks that the tester could not clearly see. Given the previous steering rack issues, a professional check of the suspension and steering geometry is highly recommended to ensure no further play has developed.
