2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque D 4X2 2.0L Diesel · SC21 VRV

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 27,750 miles, but the maintenance trend is not reassuring. The tester flagged four separate advisories on that date, spanning brake discs, a damaged lamp, and a critically worn offside front tyre found on its legal limit with inner-edge damage. That volume of advisories in a single test suggests basic upkeep has been reactive rather than preventative. The 2024 test at 22,146 miles was comparatively clean, with only minor tyre scrubbing noted on both fronts, yet by 2025 the front brake discs were all flagged as worn, pitted, or scored and corroded. Brake disc wear across all three fronts within roughly a year points to a vehicle that has been driven hard or left standing with brakes applied, leading to surface corrosion and uneven wear rather than gradual, even deterioration. At roughly five years old with 27,750 miles recorded, the annual average sits at approximately 5,550 miles, which is low for a modern diesel SUV. The mileage progression from 22,146 miles in August 2024 to 27,750 miles in August 2025 represents a jump of 5,604 miles in twelve months, a notable spike compared to the prior average and the kind of single-year accumulation that can accelerate consumable wear. There is no recorded MOT data prior to 2024, so the full service and maintenance picture remains incomplete. A buyer should treat the 2024–2025 mileage spike as a flag that the vehicle may have seen heavier use recently after a period of lighter running. The 2025 advisories demand a focused physical inspection. The offside front tyre was on its legal limit with inner-edge damage and tread damage at the last test, indicating possible wheel alignment or tracking issues that must be verified. All three front brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, scored, and corroded, and the nearside rear disc received the same advisory, so a buyer should measure disc thickness and check for lipping, hot-spotting, and uneven pad transfer. The nearside rear lower lamp unit was noted as damaged, which could point to a minor impact or water ingress, and the missing nearside front inner wheel arch cover leaves brake and suspension components exposed to road debris and moisture. A thorough underbody inspection is advisable to check for corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and suspension mounting points, particularly given the low-mileage pattern that can lead to moisture-related corrosion rather than wear-related deterioration.
