2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SJ12 BAS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 32,961 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all legal safety standards. Following a brief failure in late 2023, the vehicle has passed two consecutive tests without any advisories, suggesting that any previous mechanical issues were addressed effectively and have not recur. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,662 miles per year. Between November 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 4,957 miles, with a significant gap of 1,621 miles recorded between the two most recent tests. This pattern of low usage suggests infrequent operation, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age in low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or brake defects, the tester should check for perished suspension bushes or cracked tyre sidewalls resulting from lack of movement rather than wear. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized from inactivity. The lack of advisories in the latest records suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, but a thorough check of the underbody and fluid levels remains a priority to confirm the long-term health of the system.
