2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · RJ12 XRL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive trend with emerging signs of deferred attention. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 121,560 miles passed, the advisories for perishing front tyres and pitted rear brake discs suggest that components are only being addressed once they approach failure or legal thresholds. The failure in September 2024 regarding a front wheel bearing and lighting issues highlights a lapse in preventative inspections between annual tests. At 121,560 miles over 14 years, the Evoque has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a premium SUV. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 2,700 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,745 miles between October 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally better for the preservation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the offside wheel bearing previously showed excessive play. The recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing and uneven wear indicate that the vehicle may require an alignment or that suspension bushings are failing due to age rather than just mileage. Specific attention is required for the fuel tank protector noted for excessive corrosion in 2024; the buyer should ensure this rust has not progressed to the structural integrity of the tank mounting itself. The braking system also warrants scrutiny, as the rear discs were flagged as worn and pitted in the latest record, following reports of thin pads in 2023.
