2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · OY16 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in February 2026 at 35,229 miles. The inspection history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without serious structural or mechanical defects. While the vehicle failed in February 2025 due to insufficient tread depth on both rear tyres, this was promptly rectified, and the most recent record shows no outstanding advisories or defects. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,523 miles per year. This low usage pattern is evident in the steady, incremental increases seen between tests, such as the 2,656-mile increase between the February 2024 and February 2025 inspections. Such low annual mileage often suggests the vehicle has seen primarily short-distance or seasonal use rather than heavy motorway commuting. A buyer should focus on the implications of this low-mileage usage. Vehicles driven short distances frequently suffer from carbon buildup in the engine and potential moisture ingress in the exhaust system or brake calipers. The recurring tyre issues noted in February 2023 and February 2025 suggest a tendency for consumables to be run to the legal limit before replacement. You should inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or age-related perishing, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods. Given the lack of reported suspension or brake issues, the mechanical integrity appears sound on paper. However, you should personally inspect the underside for signs of corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. While the MOT record is clean, the low mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-frequency mechanical cycles that typically wear out drivetrain components, so ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes to prevent sludge formation.
