2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · T15 TBM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 113,996 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for thin front brake pads and misaligned headlamps. This indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of brake and tyre issues suggests that servicing is deferred between test intervals. At 113,996 miles over fifteen years, the Range Rover Evoque averages approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a premium SUV of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 10,700 miles recorded by December 2025. This steady use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which helps prevent internal fluid degradation and rubber perish. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front axle and suspension geometry. The December 2024 test flagged both front tyres as being worn to the limit and on the inner edges, which often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. When combined with the 2023 advisory regarding a rough offside Macpherson strut top mount bearing, the front suspension should be checked for clunking noises or steering pull during a test drive. The braking system requires further scrutiny as the vehicle failed recently for pads below 1.5mm. While the pads were likely replaced, the buyer must check the brake discs for glazing, deep scoring, or uneven wear. Given the history of ignoring components until they fail inspection, it is essential to verify that the recent repairs were completed to a professional standard and that the headlamps were properly adjusted to prevent immediate failure.
