2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SA66 CCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward structural degradation and reactive repairs. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 105,525 miles passed, the tester identified significant corrosion on the rear sub-frame and the vehicle structure within 30cm of a mounting. Although these issues did not cause an immediate fail, they represent an ongoing oxidation process that will likely lead to future failures if not monitored or treated. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year over its ten-year life. The record shows a gap of roughly 9,500 miles between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,400 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, yet the frequent MOT failures regarding tyres and lighting indicate that maintenance is only addressed when an inspection demands. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and chassis mounting points to determine the depth of the corrosion noted in 2026. The history reveals recurring issues with suspension components and tyres, such as the excessively worn ball joint in early 2024 and multiple tyre failures in 2025. The repeated presence of a nail in the offside rear tyre and the structural failure of the offside front tyre suggests a history of neglecting basic consumable upkeep, which necessitates a close check of the current set of tyres for depth and even wear.
