2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DYN S D A 2.0L Diesel · SC69 UAD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 21 January 2026, but the immediate history reveals a concerning trend regarding its mechanical stability. The car failed twice in a single week prior to passing, specifically due to exhaust emissions exceeding both manufacturer and default limits. This pattern indicates a recurring issue with the emissions system, likely involving the diesel particulate filter or engine management sensors, which suggests the vehicle has struggled to maintain environmental compliance. With a recorded mileage of 74,727 miles over approximately seven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,675 miles per annum. This usage profile is typical for this class of vehicle and suggests a consistent driving history without prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty use. At this mileage, however, the vehicle is entering a critical window where wear on suspension components, drivetrain mounts, and auxiliary belts becomes more prevalent, necessitating a rigorous check of the service records to ensure preventative maintenance has been performed. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the emissions system given the repeated MOT failures. During a test drive, ensure the engine reaches operating temperature without hesitation and that no dashboard warnings appear during acceleration. The history of pitted and scored brake discs, combined with thin brake pads, indicates a pattern of wear that may not have been fully addressed by simple pad replacements. Listen for any grinding noises or feel for brake shudder through the pedal, which would indicate that the discs remain degraded or warped. Further inspection is required regarding the vehicle's wheel alignment and tyre condition. The recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges suggest a potential issue with the tracking or worn suspension bushes, which can lead to premature tyre failure. Inspect the current tyre treads for uneven wear patterns and check the sidewalls for any cracking. Finally, verify that the oil change intervals have been strictly adhered to in the service book, as diesel engines of this age are highly susceptible to sludge build-up and turbocharger wear if fluid degradation is ignored.
