2020 Land Rover R Rover Evoque First Edition A 2.0L Petrol · PL70 OOD

The 2026‑03‑16 MOT at 28,421 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with only a defective offside front wiper blade and a superficial near‑side rear tyre cut being recorded as defects. The tester issued no serious mechanical failures, indicating a stable or slightly improving maintenance record compared with the previous year. Mileage has risen from 12,185 miles in the September 2023 test to 28,421 miles in the March 2026 test, representing an average annual increase of roughly 6,500 miles over the past two years, a marked rise from the low‑usage pattern seen between 2023 and 2024 when the odometer stayed near 13,800 miles for several months. The 2024‑03‑19 failure at the same mileage, followed by a pass a day later, shows that the vehicle was stationary or used minimally during that period, while the later acceleration in mileage suggests more regular operation since early 2025. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, as the earlier failure to replace the missing brake hydraulic reservoir cap and the recurring tyre defect hint at possible neglect of fluid maintenance and tyre care; inspection of rear suspension bushes, coil springs and any binding rear brake calipers is advisable. Particular attention should be given to the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, especially after the 2024 advisories, and to verify that the tyre cut has been properly repaired and that the wiper blade has been replaced. Overall, the record shows a vehicle that was largely well‑maintained with minor, addressable issues, but the recent increase in mileage and the single hydraulic cap failure suggest that the owner’s upkeep may have been inconsistent; a thorough in‑person inspection of brakes, suspension components and structural rust is essential before purchase.
