2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · SP12 ACE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 15 September 2022 at 34,028 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This represents a stable maintenance pattern over the past four tests, all of which passed without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been kept in a state of basic compliance, though the extended gap since the last test—now nearly three years and 1,000 miles —means critical components like brakes, tyres, and suspension have not been formally re-inspected. No evidence of worsening conditions is visible in the record, but the prolonged period without a test introduces uncertainty over wear that may have developed since. The mileage progression indicates unusually low annual usage, averaging just 3,403 miles per year over the past decade. This suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods either in storage or with minimal driving, which can accelerate deterioration in fluids, seals, and rubber components. Notably, the mileage jumps between tests—from 15,690 miles in August 2019 to 19,589 miles in August 2020 , a 3,899-mile increase in a year , followed by a slower 8,028-mile gap before the 2022 test—imply inconsistent usage rather than a deliberate maintenance schedule. Such patterns often correlate with deferred servicing, particularly for items like brake fluid, differential fluid, or air filters, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of brake calipers and discs , particularly for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as the last formal check was over three years ago. The suspension—including coil springs, bushes, and dampers —should be examined for leaks, excessive play, or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age and potential storage periods. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant close scrutiny, as the absence of MOT faults could mask uneven wear from prolonged static loading. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, where salt ingress could compromise structural integrity over time. No advisories in the record suggest no prior major repairs, but visual confirmation of these high-wear areas is essential.
