2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure SD4 2.2L Diesel · SN13 XAD

The most recent MOT, carried out on 23 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding six tests also returned clean passes. The only recurring items in the history are advisories from the 2017 and 2018 tests indicating that the rear brake pads were wearing thin; there have been no further brake‑related alerts in the subsequent years, suggesting that the pads were likely replaced and the braking system has remained stable. Overall the maintenance trend appears to be improving, with the vehicle now showing a clean record over the last five years. At 99 316 miles the Evoque averages roughly 7 600 miles per annum over its 13‑year life, which sits comfortably within typical UK usage patterns. There are no evident gaps in the MOT chronology that would imply long periods of inactivity, so the mileage reflects regular, moderate use rather than either extreme low‑mileage storage or high‑stress mileage accumulation. Consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components should be proportionate to age rather than excessive mileage‑driven degradation. When inspecting the rear braking system, verify that the pads are of adequate thickness and that the discs are free from scoring, rust patches or excessive run‑out. On a test drive listen for any low‑frequency squeal or high‑frequency squeak when applying the rear brakes, and feel for any pulsing or shudder that could indicate warped discs or uneven pad wear. Check that the handbrake holds firmly without excessive travel, as a binding rear caliper can develop after years of standing. If any of these symptoms are present, anticipate a brake service – pad replacement and possible disc resurfacing or replacement – within the next few thousand miles. Given the vehicle’s age, the buyer should also examine tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that might point to mis‑aligned suspension or worn bushings. Inspect the suspension for play in the front lower arms, rear trailing arms and any worn rubber bushings, and listen for clunking over bumps. The 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking amperage, as prolonged periods of inactivity can reduce capacity. Verify that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are topped up and that the fluids have been changed at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals, as time‑based degradation can occur even with low mileage. Finally, look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches and under‑body panels, and confirm that the service book contains regular oil changes and any required timing‑belt or chain service, which will give confidence that the Evoque has been maintained in line with its service schedule.
