2023 Land Rover R Rover Evoque A-BIO D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · RO04 SAM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 51,701 miles shows a pass following a failure just two days prior. This failure identified defects on both front upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers and perishing rear tyres. While the vehicle passed after immediate rectification, the recurrence of mechanical faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At a recorded mileage of 51,701 miles over six years, the Peugeot follows a typical usage pattern, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the July 2023 test at 17,246 miles and the June 2024 test at 30,308 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in eleven months. This spike in usage is consistent with the wear observed on consumables, such as the front tyre and wiper blades noted in the 2024 failure. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension components, as the failure of the anti-roll bar linkage dust covers indicates potential ingress of grit into the joints. You must check for sidewall cracking on the rear tyres, as the January 2026 advisory flagged cracking and perishing, which often occurs when rubber ages without sufficient use despite low mileage. Given the history of wiper-related failures in both 2023 and 2024, verify the current condition of the blades and the glass surface to ensure visibility is not compromised by pitting.
