2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SO17 NFU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 81,706 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in terms of reactive maintenance, as the owner addressed the significant brake and tyre issues identified in the previous year. While the 2024 test showed a failure due to worn components, the subsequent clean report indicates the necessary repairs were completed to bring the vehicle back to standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 16,411 miles, followed by another 5,993 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals and mechanical components in a Land Rover of this era. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre management. The November 2024 failure highlighted an offside front brake pad below the 1.5mm limit alongside pitted front discs. While these were likely replaced, a physical inspection should check for even wear across the rotors to ensure the calipers are not binding. The recurring mention of tyres worn to the legal limit in 2022 and 2024 suggests a history of waiting until components reached failure point rather than performing proactive replacement. Given the vehicle's model and the history of consumable wear, an inspection should also cover the suspension bushings for signs of per or uneven wear. The MOT record shows instances of edge wear on multiple tyres, which can sometimes indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension arms. Since no structural corrosion has been flagged in the records to date, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the available DVSA data.
