2023 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Abio Phev A 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF72 SPV

The most recent MOT test conducted on 07 January 2026 resulted in a pass, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum legal safety standards at that time. Given the vehicle is a relatively new 2023 model, the MOT history is naturally sparse, but the single advisory suggests a maintenance trend that is currently stable but requires attention to specific consumable components. There are no recorded failures, which is a positive indicator of the vehicle's structural and mechanical compliance within its early lifecycle. The recorded mileage of 17,431 miles over approximately three years equates to an annual average of roughly 5,810 miles. This is significantly lower than the UK national average, suggesting the vehicle has seen light usage or has spent considerable periods stationary. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, it can introduce specific risks associated with under-utilisation, such as moisture accumulation in the exhaust system, potential battery degradation, or brake component seizure due to lack of regular friction-based cleaning. The advisory regarding the offside front tyre sidewall damage is a point of immediate concern. Sidewall damage is often structural rather than just superficial; you must inspect this closely for any bulging, which indicates internal cord failure. During your test drive, listen for any unusual vibrations through the steering wheel or rhythmic thumping sounds, as a compromised sidewall can lead to sudden tyre failure. Given the low mileage, you should also check the condition of all other tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur when rubber sits unused for long periods. Furthermore, as this is a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle with low annual mileage, it is vital to verify the health of the high-voltage battery and the 12V starter battery. Low usage can lead to incomplete charging cycles, potentially affecting battery longevity. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which is common when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear the oxidation. You should also confirm that the service history includes time-based fluid changes, such as brake fluid and engine coolant, as these degrade based on age rather than just mileage. Finally, check for any signs of fluid leaks or weeping from suspension bushes or dampers, which can sometimes occur when seals are not regularly lubricated by movement.
