2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · RO62 WKU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of suspension wear-related issues. The most recent test in November 2025 at 199,887 miles identified an offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with slight play. This follows a defect noted in October 2023 at 177,605 miles where the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover was found severely deteriorated. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the appearance of these advisories indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage profile is significantly high for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,278 miles per year. Data shows consistent and heavy usage over the recorded period. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 56,173 miles, representing a steady accumulation of over 14,000 miles annually. This high level of mileage places considerable strain on the drivetrain, engine components, and bushings, which is consistent with the mechanical wear now appearing in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension system. The recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkages and dust covers suggest that other rubber bushes and ball joints across the chassis may be perished or nearing imminent failure. Given the vehicle is approaching the 200,000-mile mark, it is also vital to verify that the gearbox and turbo have been serviced according to interval, as these components face high stress under such consistent mileage patterns. The tester should check for fluid leaks around the steering rack and excessive play in the control arms that may not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
