2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · V3 WDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 78,284 miles identified a non-excessive oil leak and noted both rear tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear, the vehicle successfully passed. The clean records seen in 2021 and 2022 have given way to a vehicle now requiring more frequent attention as it ages and accumulates. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between November 2023 at 42,575 miles and March 2025 at 63,053 miles, covering over 20,000 miles in just sixteen months. This period of higher activity likely correlates with the appearance of brake pad wear and tyre degradation noted in the 2025 test, as the vehicle moved from low mileage to higher annual use between those inspections. A buyer must physically inspect the source of the oil leak flagged in the 2026 test to determine if it is a minor gasket seal or a more significant engine issue. The recurring reports of perishing tyres and uneven wear across 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggest a history of neglected tyre maintenance or a potential alignment issue that causes premature wear on the rear axle. You should also verify the state of the rear brake discs and calipers to ensure the thin pads noted in 2025 have been properly replaced without causing damage to the braking hardware.
