2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · UP02 JUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive repairs as the car reaches higher mileage. The most recent test in August 2025 at 83,940 miles identified several defects that were absent in the previous two tests. While the vehicle passed, the presence of an oil leak, thin rear pads, and a deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where mechanical components require immediate attention rather than preventative monitoring. The recorded mileage of 83,940 miles over nine years reflects an annual average of approximately 9,300 miles, which is consistent with typical UK road use patterns. There is a notable gap in testing between March 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in just thirteen months. The failure in March 2023 at 58,514 miles due to exposed cords and insufficient tread on both front tyres suggests a lapse in basic consumable maintenance at that time, though the subsequent clean tests in 2024 indicate these specific issues were addressed promptly. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay to determine the severity of the oil leak flagged in August 2025, as the tester noted it was not excessive but remains present. The rear braking system requires close attention because the record notes pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads, which often necessitates a full replacement of both components to ensure effective stopping. Furthermore, the severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage should be checked for play, as a failed dust cover often leads to rapid joint failure and unpredictable handling if not replaced.
