2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · SN63 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 11 February 2026 at 120,173 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive. The February 2026 test followed a failure just five days earlier, where the tester flagged a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, a clicking CV joint, thin front brake pads, and multiple tyres at or below the legal limit. This pattern of failing on consumable items immediately before passing suggests that repairs are only being carried out to meet minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,244 miles per year. The record shows steady use, with the mileage climbing from 20,016 in August 2016 to the current 120,173. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, although the frequency of failures on wear-and-tear components has increased in recent years. The jump from 78,263 miles in February 2022 to 96,015 miles in February 2023 indicates a period of higher usage compared to the earlier years of the vehicle's life. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension components. The MOT history shows recurring issues with brake pad thickness and worn discs, specifically noted in the February 2025 failure at 112,675 miles and the February 2022 advisory regarding thin rear pads. The recent failure of the offside front CV joint and the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover indicates that the front suspension and drivetrain components are reaching the end of their service life. The repeated instances of tyres being presented at or below the 1.6mm legal limit, seen in 2018, 2020, 2025, and 2026, suggest a lack of routine preventative maintenance. Beyond the immediate mechanical repairs, a physical inspection should confirm the condition of all four tyres and check for any signs of uneven wear that might indicate underlying suspension geometry issues. Given the recent CV joint failure, a road test is necessary to ensure no further drivetrain vibrations or noises persist.
