2011 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · V8 FWC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs regarding component corrosion. The most recent test in February 2026 at 79,566 miles resulted in a failure due to an insecure fuel tank, which was subsequently rectified to achieve a pass. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection without defects, recurring issues with the fuel system housing suggest that structural degradation is being addressed only upon failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 79,566 miles, this fifteen-year-old Range Rover shows low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data indicates a significant gap in mileage between March 2022 at 69,487 miles and October 2024 at 75,550 miles, where only 6,000 miles were covered over thirty-one months. Such low-frequency use on a high-age vehicle often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the perished parts noted. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the fuel system and associated mounting hardware. The 2023 test flagged a severely corroded central rear lower fuel tank shield, and the 2024 advisory noted a corroded fuel tank cradle. These entries indicate that the vehicle is vulnerable to salt-induced structural rust. Furthermore, the 2023 record highlighted multiple uneven tyre wear and perishing across both axles, suggesting potential alignment issues or age-related rubber dry rot. The front brake discs should be checked for minimum thickness, as they were already noted as worn in 2023.
