2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque S D Auto 2.0L Diesel · RG64 BEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in March 2026 at 87,579 miles identified multiple defects including a rear oil leak, corroded and pitted rear brake discs, and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows an advisory from February 2025 regarding thin rear brake pads, indicating that the braking system is only being addressed once components approach the point of failure rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage recorded between February 2025 and March 2026, where the vehicle covered 14,978 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places heavy demand on the drivetrain and suspension components. The failure in February 2024 at 55,435 miles due to exposed cords on rear tyres suggests a previous period of alignment issues or neglect during a high-mileage phase. A buyer must inspect the rear axle assembly to determine if the oil leak noted in March 2026 is a minor seal seep or a more significant differential failure. The recurring issues with rear tyres, specifically uneven wear on the edges, suggest the vehicle may suffer from worn suspension bushes or incorrect geometry that requires professional alignment. Given the pitted condition of the rear brake discs, a full inspection of the braking hardware is necessary to ensure no calipers are binding due to the high mileage and environmental corrosion.
