2022 Land Rover R Rover Evoque Rdyn SE Dmhev A 2.0L Diesel · SV14 ALL

The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle was in a compliant state regarding its structural integrity, braking efficiency, and exhaust emissions at the time of inspection. Based on the available data, the maintenance trend appears stable, suggesting that the vehicle has not been subject to the immediate mechanical failures or safety-critical issues that typically trigger MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 24,757 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents an annual average of approximately 6,189 miles, which is relatively low for this class of vehicle. While this lower mileage implies less wear on the engine, transmission, and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle may have been used for short journeys or has experienced periods of standing. For a mild-hybrid diesel engine, this pattern of usage requires careful monitoring to ensure that carbon buildup does not occur within the diesel particulate filter or EGR system, and that the hybrid components are being cycled through their intended operating ranges. Given the clean MOT history and the lower-than-average mileage, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than heavy mechanical wear. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers during the test drive, as infrequent use can allow oxidation to build up on the braking surfaces. Furthermore, it is essential to verify that time-based servicing has been strictly adhered to, as low-mileage vehicles often require oil and fluid changes based on the calendar rather than distance travelled. Check the service book for stamps confirming annual oil changes and brake fluid replacements to prevent fluid degradation. During the test drive, pay attention to the smoothness of the mild-hybrid transitions and listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which can sometimes stiffen or degrade if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. Finally, ensure the 12V battery is in good health, as long periods of inactivity can lead to capacity loss.
