2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · SJ63 ABF

The vehicle presents an unusually clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 13 July 2023 at 104,622 miles resulting in a pass. While the record shows a simultaneous fail and pass on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor rectification performed on-site rather than a significant mechanical failure. The absence of any advisories over the past four years indicates a stable maintenance trend, suggesting the previous owner prioritized proactive upkeep or that the vehicle has been subjected to light usage patterns. The recorded mileage of 104,622 over thirteen years averages approximately 8,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for this model. The progression is consistent, showing steady usage between the 81,919 miles recorded in June 2020 and the current figure. There are no concerning gaps in the testing timeline that would imply long-term storage or neglect. However, the lack of any recorded advisories throughout this period is atypical for a vehicle of this age and complexity, warranting a cautious approach to the inspection. Prospective buyers must look beyond the clean MOT record, as these tests do not assess the internal condition of the engine, transmission, or the complex electrical systems common in this Range Rover platform. You should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these components often wear silently without triggering an MOT failure. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or recent underseal application that might mask structural issues. Verify the operation of the electronic parking brake and test the drivetrain for any hesitation or unusual noises during acceleration, as the MOT history provides no insight into the current state of these high-wear mechanical systems.
