2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · SC62 FEG

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2025 at 92,159 miles, the failure just one day prior reveals a significant lapse in mechanical oversight. The tester identified a binding offside front brake, a damaged brake hose, and a split CV boot, all of which are critical safety concerns that were ignored until the inspection process. The recurring presence of defective exhaust mountings across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced to do so by a failure. At 92,159 miles over 13 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage. However, the data shows a period of more intensive use between February 2023 and February 2025, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in two years. This increase in mileage coincides with a cluster of mechanical failures, including worn wheel bearings, suspension arm bushes, and brake components. The gap between the 2025 test and the current date in 2026 is short, but the heavy wear noted on the braking system and suspension indicates the vehicle may be entering a stage of accelerated component degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The 2024 failure for excessively worn suspension arm bushes and a nearside wheel bearing indicates that the front-end geometry has been under significant stress. Particular attention should be paid to the offside front corner, where the previous failure for a binding caliper and a damaged hose suggests these parts may have been replaced but could show signs of premature wear. Furthermore, the report of an insecure offside front wheel arch fouling the spring indicates a potential structural issue or mounting corrosion that could compromise the long-term integrity of the bodywork if not properly secured.
