2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol · S5 DHT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding brake system components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 35,854 miles flagged thin offside rear brake pads at approximately 2mm alongside worn rear discs. This follows a recurring issue noted in both the 2024 and 2023 tests, where worn rear discs were highlighted as observations. While the vehicle passes each inspection, the persistent nature of these brake defects suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 12,054 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but introduces risks associated with age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The consistent annual testing interval shows that the vehicle has been kept on the road despite the low distance covered between tests. A buyer must physically inspect the rear brake assembly to ensure the discs and pads have finally been replaced since the 2025 advisory. Given the history of worn discs across multiple years, check for binding calipers that might be causing the uneven wear. Additionally, the record of cuts on the nearside front tyre in 2022 and 2024 necessitates a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls for structural damage. Because the car is a low-mileage luxury, also inspect the suspension bushes and rubber hoses for cracking, which occurs through time rather than distance.
