2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · OY18 PBF

A recurring pattern of tyre perishing and degradation, coupled with consistent reports of undertrays obscuring the inspector's view, defines the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the record shows a consistent string of passes, the repeated advisories regarding cracking and perishing rubber across both axles between 2022 and 2025 indicate a period of tyre degradation. This trend appears to have been resolved, as the most recent test on 2026-03-09 was completed with no defects or advisories recorded. The recorded mileage of 60,268 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,534 miles. This is a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a standard rate of wear on the engine, transmission, and chassis. Mechanically, this avoids the risks associated with excessive high-mileage wear on drivetrain components while also avoiding the stagnation risks often found in very low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the current state of the tyres, specifically looking for any remaining evidence of the sidewall cracking or edge-wear mentioned in the 2023 and 2024 records. Because the DVSA noted that engine covers and undertrays obscured testable components in multiple years, there is a possibility that certain chassis or leak points were not fully visible during those inspections. A physical check for oil misting or fluid leaks around the engine bay and subframe is recommended to compensate for these previously limited views. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension bushes or linkages. Check for any steering pull or vibration that might suggest the alignment issues hinted at by the previous reports of tyres worn bald on the edges. Ensure the brakes operate smoothly without pedal judder, and verify that all undertrays are securely fastened to prevent rattling or wind noise at higher speeds.
