2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DY SE D A 2.0L Diesel · RUT 11D

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of corrective action. The most recent inspection on 25 June 2026 at 81,077 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical and safety concerns identified in the previous year have been addressed, and the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 38,874 miles and the 2026 test at 81,077 miles, the car covered roughly 42,000 miles, suggesting a way pattern of use. There are no significant gaps indicating long-term neglect that would typically dry-rot rubber components, nor is there excessive mileage that would accelerate wear on the drivetrain components beyond expected intervals. The failure on 13 June 2025 at 73,707 miles highlights a specific lapse in preventative maintenance and electronic monitoring. The tester noted an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) alongside critical tyre failures, including a structural bulge on the nearside rear and edge wear on both front tyres. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test later that month, a buyer should verify that the engine management system is fully functional and that no hidden fault codes remain. The edge wear noted in June 2025 also suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes which should be inspected to prevent rapid future degradation. Given the age and mileage, the physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry and tyre quality to ensure the previous edge wear was not caused by deeper mechanical faults. A thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is also advised to ensure no binding issues or uneven thinning have occurred. The history remains relatively clean beyond the 2025 failure, indicating that the vehicle is generally well-maintained despite that specific instance of neglected tyres and a sensor-related fault.
