2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · ST11 GAB

This 2012 Range Rover Evoque has covered approximately 85,193 miles over 14 years, averaging roughly 6,000 miles annually. This is a moderate usage pattern that suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage motorway commuting, though it is important to verify if the car has spent long periods sitting idle, as low-use vehicles can sometimes suffer from seized components or electrical gremlins due to inactivity. The MOT history shows a generally stable condition, with clean passes in 2023 and 2024. However, the recent 2025 MOT cycle indicates a slight uptick in minor maintenance requirements. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, it did so only after failing for headlamp alignment and a faulty rear stop lamp. These issues are relatively minor and typical for a vehicle of this age, but they do suggest that basic electrical and lighting maintenance may have been overlooked prior to the inspection. The failure in late 2024 regarding the supplementary restraint system warning lamp is a more significant concern. While this was rectified to achieve a pass shortly thereafter, safety-related electrical faults in complex vehicles like the Evoque can be indicative of underlying wiring issues or sensor degradation. Because the car has transitioned from a clean record to a series of failures over the last eighteen months, the trend suggests that the vehicle is now entering a phase where more frequent, age-related repairs are becoming necessary. Given the vehicle's age and the nature of the recent failures, your primary focus during an inspection should be on the electrical systems.
