2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SF02 ADE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While it passed the test on 27 May 2026 at 75,580 miles, it failed just two days prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple mechanical and wear failures in 2026 suggests the owner may only be addressing components once they reach point of failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 2,226 miles between April 2024 and June 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of nearly 8,000 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This increase in usage likely correlates with the sudden appearance of brake wear and suspension issues, which were not present during the 2025 inspection at 67,602 miles. Buyers must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The May 2026 test flagged pitting and scoring on all four brake discs, which indicates either high environmental moisture or infrequent use of the brakes leading to corrosion. Given the fractured coil spring, a physical inspection should check the remaining suspension components for signs of stress or fatigue, as these parts often fail in pairs. The previous uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 also suggests that alignment issues may have existed, which should be verified to ensure no further tyre degradation occurs.
