2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · SAX 12Y

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a persistent trend of structural corrosion and accelerating component wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 84,510 miles confirmed the presence of worn front brake discs, corroded fuel tank shroud, and worn rear suspension arm bushes. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests a reactive maintenance approach where faults are addressed only as they approach failure thresholds rather than through proactive preventative care. At 84,510 miles over eleven years, the Range Rover Evoque follows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,700 miles per year. The data shows steady annual accumulation with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles between consecutive tests from 2022 to 2026. This moderate mileage is typical for a luxury SUV, though the relative age of the vehicle likely contributes to the degradation of rubber suspension components and the oxidation of metal surfaces as seen in the records. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the progression of corrosion. The record flagged rear sub-frame and suspension arm corrosion in 2023, followed by corroded brake pipes in 2024 and continued fuel tank shroud issues through 2026. It is vital to determine if the structural integrity of the sub-frame remains sound beyond the surface rust previously noted. Additionally, the repeated failure of rear trailing arm bushes in the last two tests indicates the suspension geometry is degrading and may soon require comprehensive replacement. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. The history of worn, pitted, and scored brake discs across multiple years suggests that the braking components are frequently nearing the end of their service life. Given the recurring advisories and the vehicle's age, the buyer should check for binding calipers or significant thinning of the brake lines to ensure the safety of the system is not compromised beyond the basic MOT pass.
