2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DY SE D A 2.0L Diesel · PV19 FKB

The vehicle most recently passed its DVSA MOT test on 10 December 2025, although three advisories were recorded against that examination. The most recent advisory notes the front tyre on the nearside worn close to the legal limit and worn on its edge, together with nails in the nearside front and nearside rear tyres, meaning replacement tyres were almost certainly required immediately after the test. Reviewing the broader MOT history, the maintenance trend shows a clean record through 2021, 2022, and 2024, but a cluster of advisories in December 2023 relating to brake pad wear and brake disc pitting at both axles, followed by the tyre edge-wear advisory in December 2025. This pattern suggests a vehicle that is generally well maintained but is now showing wear characteristics consistent with a chassis that has covered meaningful mileage, particularly on consumable braking components and front-end geometry. While none of the recorded items constitute failures, a prospective buyer should treat the cumulative pattern as a prompt to inspect these systems thoroughly before purchase. The recorded mileage of 59,827 miles on a seven-year-old vehicle equates to an average of approximately 8,547 miles per year, which is broadly in line with typical UK usage for a premium SUV of this type. There is no evidence in the MOT history of any significant gaps in annual mileage accumulation, indicating that the vehicle has been in regular use rather than left standing for prolonged periods. This is mechanically favourable, as consistent use tends to keep seals, brakes, drivetrain components, and the 12V battery in better condition than a vehicle that has covered very low mileage. However, the steady accumulation of miles does mean that wear-related components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, anti-roll bar links, and drivetrain mounts should be expected to be approaching mid-life fatigue, even though none of these items have yet appeared as advisories on the MOT record. Given the recorded brake disc pitting and pad wear advisories from late 2023, a test drive should include several careful checks. On a road test, listen for any grinding or scraping from the brakes, particularly at low speed, which could indicate pads that have worn beyond the linings or a sensor contacting a disc. Feel for brake shudder through the steering wheel or pedal under firm application, which would indicate the previously noted pitted or scored discs have now reached a serviceable limit. Inspect the front and rear brake discs visually through the wheel spokes for deep scoring, lipping at the outer edge, or visible corrosion at the hat area, and verify that the calipers are releasing cleanly without any tendency to bind, which would manifest as pulling to one side under braking or excessive heat after a short journey. Additionally, the nearside front tyre wearing on its edge warrants a check of front wheel alignment and suspension geometry; ask for evidence of a recent four-wheel alignment and inspect the nearside front suspension arm bushes, drop links, and track rod ends for any play or perished rubber. Beyond the recorded advisories, a vehicle of this age and mileage warrants several age-related physical inspections regardless of the MOT outcome. Tyre sidewalls should be examined for perishing or hairline cracking from age, even where tread depth remains adequate, and the production date codes on all four tyres should be checked, as rubber compounds degrade after approximately five to six years regardless of use. The 12V battery should be tested for state of health, particularly given the high electrical load of a modern Range Rover, and the condition of the auxiliary battery where fitted should also be confirmed. Inspect the underbody, subframes, and exhaust system for any signs of corrosion, fluid leaks, or damaged heat shields, paying particular attention to the rear silencer and mounting rubbers. Finally, verify that brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid have been serviced in line with calendar intervals rather than purely on mileage, as these fluids degrade over time, and confirm the service book is fully stamped with evidence of timely maintenance.
