2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque HSE D Auto 2.0L Diesel · RN19 NVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 55,194 miles, it had failed just four days prior due to significant mechanical wear. The offside front suspension arm bush was found excessively worn and split, requiring repair to achieve a pass. The presence of slight play in steering linkage and drop links suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-range usage, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a clear gap of 7,671 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 8,825-mile interval leading up to the recent failure in October 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, but the recurring failures on brakes and suspension components indicate that basic service intervals for consumable wear items may have been neglected between annual MOT appointments. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The record repeatedly flags issues with ball joints, drop links, and inner arm bushes, which indicates the front-end assembly is nearing comprehensive replacement. Furthermore, the 2024 failure highlighted thin brake pads on both axles, and the 2025 advisory noted both front inner tyres were at the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that are causing premature tyre degradation.
