2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Petrol · VC15 CAR

The most recent MOT history for this 2016 Range Rover Evoque, tested just over a year ago on 2025-08-11, reveals a vehicle that has remained roadworthy but with a single, minor and easily corrected issue: the headlamp aim was adjusted incorrectly on both sides. This failure was remedied immediately, as evidenced by the subsequent pass on the same day, indicating prompt attention to a straightforward calibration problem. The preceding MOT in 2024 also passed without defects, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern over the last two years. However, the 2023 test highlighted rear tyre wear approaching the legal limit, a fault that was not repeated in later tests, implying either replacement or a return to compliant tread depths. No structural or mechanical advisories have appeared in the record, which is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep in critical areas. The recorded mileage of 90,350 miles over ten years aligns with typical usage for this model, averaging around 9,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, which would otherwise raise concerns about neglect or excessive wear. The most notable interval is between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 14,119 miles in a year—a rate slightly higher than the average but still within reasonable limits for a vehicle of this age. The consistency in mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored for prolonged periods, which could have led to additional wear from static loading or corrosion. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, given the tyre wear recorded in 2023. While the fault was not repeated, uneven or edge wear can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension parts. The brakes were never flagged in the MOT history, but the age of the vehicle—approaching 10 years—warrants scrutiny of brake discs, calipers, and master cylinder condition, as these components degrade over time and may exhibit binding or excessive wear without visible tread issues. Additionally, the headlamp aim failure suggests the vehicle’s alignment or electrical systems for lighting should be checked, as repeated misalignment could point to worn steering or suspension components. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for signs of corrosion or damage, as these areas are critical to the vehicle’s long-term safety.
