2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · PL05 RAF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 11 November 2025 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2021, the maintenance trend is remarkably stable, showing five consecutive years of clean passes without a single advisory or failure. Such a consistent record is uncommon for a vehicle of this vintage and strongly suggests a rigorous approach to preventative maintenance and a high standard of overall vehicle care. With a recorded mileage of 119,319 miles over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,955 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for a luxury SUV of this era, avoiding the pitfalls of both excessive wear associated with high-mileage motorway use and the degradation caused by prolonged periods of standing. The mechanical implications are generally positive, suggesting a steady operational history that has likely kept the engine and drivetrain in a consistent state of warmth and lubrication. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection is essential to identify wear that does not necessarily trigger a test failure. You should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure there is no evidence of binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. The health of the 12V battery should be verified, as older batteries in complex electrical systems like the Evoque can lead to intermittent faults. Further attention should be paid to the chassis and suspension components. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue or splitting, and listen for any clunks or knocks during a test drive over uneven surfaces. It is imperative to verify the service history for calendar-based fluid changes, specifically the engine oil, coolant, and automatic transmission fluid, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Finally, ensure that all service book stamps are present to confirm that critical long-term maintenance intervals have been adhered to, providing a complete picture of the vehicle's mechanical integrity.
