2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · VO63 RCU

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred attention regarding the braking system. The most recent test in October 2025 at 169,878 miles flagged the front brake pads as wearing close to the limit. This mirrors a defect from the October 2024 test at 161,375 miles, indicating that the previous owner consistently waited to replace consumable components until they approach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 169,878 miles, this thirteen-year-old Range Rover has covered an average of 13,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-frequency usage, with 9,471 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 8,503 miles in the following year. This high-mileage profile places significant strain on the drivetrain and complex suspension components, which are prone to fatigue on this model as they exceed the hundred-thousand-mile mark. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front brake discs, as the record notes fluctuating brakes in both 2021 and 2023. This fluctuation suggests heat spotting or warping, which often requires expensive rotor replacement rather than just pads. The 2023 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn bald on the inner edge points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the turbocharger, cooling system, and air suspension is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglected mechanical wear.
