2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SD65 GYF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 June 2026 at 92,856 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean result is significant because it follows a failure just four days earlier on 4 June 2026 at 92,849 miles, where the tester flagged a fractured offside rear coil spring, a binding nearside rear service brake, and excessive play in the offside front wheel bearing. The fact that all three defects were rectified within four days and the car passed on the same mileage suggests the previous owner addressed the issues promptly rather than deferring them. The maintenance trend is therefore improving, moving from a failure with serious suspension and braking faults to a fully clean pass. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between 25 January 2024 at 63,139 miles and 16 June 2025 at 82,431 miles, the vehicle covered 19,292 miles in roughly 17 months, which is a brisk pace of around 11,350 miles per year. That rate then slowed considerably, with only 10,425 miles added between 16 June 2025 and 8 June 2026, closer to 8,700 miles per year. The overall average of roughly 8,441 miles per year across its 11-year life sits within normal parameters for a Range Rover Evoque. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the record that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The June 2026 failure is the most informative entry in the entire history. A fractured coil spring is not a minor wear item. It points to a component that had been deteriorating, possibly over several months, and the excessive wheel bearing play on the offside front suggests the front end has seen sustained stress. The binding nearside rear caliper is a separate concern that could indicate a sticking piston or collapsed brake hose. A prospective buyer should have the front suspension and steering components inspected with the wheels off the ground, specifically checking for play in both front wheel bearings and examining the condition of all four coil springs for early signs of cracking or sag. The rear braking system deserves a thorough check on a ramp, with the caliper sliding mechanism and hose inspected for restriction. Given the vehicle's age and the nature of the June 2026 faults, an underbody inspection for corrosion around suspension mounting points and subframe areas would also be prudent, as these are common failure points on Evoques of this generation.
