2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · RJ18 BCV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test conducted in June 2022 at 70,266 miles passed with no recorded defects, suggesting the mechanical and safety components were functioning correctly at that time. However, because no MOT has been recorded for nearly four years, the current state of roadworthiness is unverified and likely suffers from significant degradation since the last official inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows 8,907 miles between the June 2021 test at 61,359 miles and the June 2022 test at 70,266 miles. This interval suggests the car was used regularly, which prevents certain issues associated with seizing, but the lack of data following the 2022 test is a major concern for a purchase in mid-2026. A buyer must investigate the suspension and alignment geometry based on the failure in June 2021, where the offside rear tyre showed excessive inner edge wear. This specific fault often points to worn control arm bushes, faulty wishbones, or incorrect camber that requires professional rectification. The 2022 failure regarding the ineffective windscreen wiper is a minor consumable issue, but it reinforces the pattern of basic maintenance being overlooked until a test failure occurs. Given the four-year gap in recorded data, a thorough physical inspection of the brake system and structural integrity is mandatory. The buyer should check for corrosion on the brake discs and calipers, as these can degrade during periods of inactivity or neglected use. The current state of all tyres and wiper blades must be verified, as the last record provides no information on their condition beyond 2022.
