2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · RA68 NLE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-08 resulted in a rare double entry—one pass followed immediately by a fail—before being retested and passed again. This anomaly suggests either a procedural oversight in the testing centre or a last-minute correction, though no defects were recorded on any of the three attempts. The preceding MOT history from 2023 to 2025 shows consistent passes with no advisories or failures, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years. The absence of recurring faults or advisories in the official record implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity—have not been flagged for serious wear or neglect during these tests. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 42,647 miles at seven years old aligns with typical usage patterns for its class, averaging around 6,092 miles annually. There are no evident gaps in service intervals or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the MOT record does not provide service history. The most recent test occurred just seven months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though the double-entry discrepancy warrants further clarification from the seller. No advisories in prior tests suggest no hidden or deferred issues were reported, but this does not preclude private maintenance records or undocumented repairs. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—given the vehicle’s age and typical off-road usage patterns. The brakes, including caliper binding, pad thickness, and disc warping, should be thoroughly checked, as even minor wear can escalate quickly in this model. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area, especially if the vehicle has seen off-road use or exposure to salted roads. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or structural damage, as catalytic converter failures are common in this range and often go undetected without emissions testing.
