2021 Land Rover Rrover Evoque R-DYN SE P300E A 1.5L Hybrid electric · OV21 UGG

A significant recent failure regarding tyre integrity and legal compliance marks the most recent mechanical chapter for this vehicle, though the record shows a return to a clean status following that incident. The April 2025 test resulted in a dangerous failure due to exposed cords on the nearside front tyre and a major failure for a cut reaching the ply on the offside rear tyre, alongside an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. While the vehicle successfully passed its most recent MOT on 05 August 2026 with no defects recorded, the sudden appearance of multiple tyre-related failures suggests a period where consumable wear or external damage was not addressed prior to testing. The recorded mileage of 57,055 miles over approximately five years represents a consistent usage pattern of roughly 11,411 miles per year. This annual accumulation is typical for a modern SUV and suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commuting or mixed-use driving rather than being subject to long periods of stationary storage. From a mechanical perspective, this level of mileage means that while the vehicle has not been excessively driven, the chassis and drivetrain components will have undergone standard wear cycles consistent with its age, particularly regarding suspension bushings, brake pads, and steering linkages. Given the specific failures recorded in 2025, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the wheel arches and the overall tyre health. Although the 2026 test was clear, the previous issues with cuts and exposed cords warrant a physical inspection of the sidewalls for any residual bulges, cracking, or previous repairs that might indicate frequent contact with kerbs or debris. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or uneven road noise that could suggest irregular tyre wear or underlying issues with wheel alignment, which may have contributed to the edge wear noted in the previous advisory. The buyer should also evaluate the steering and suspension response to ensure the vehicle tracks straight. While no specific suspension defects were flagged, the history of tyre wear and damage means it is prudent to check for any pulling to one side under braking or during straight-line driving on a level surface. Any sudden steering heaviness or vibrations through the steering wheel at motorway speeds should be investigated, as these symptoms can be linked to the types of tyre and alignment issues that previously necessitated a failed inspection.
