2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · X2 BEC

The most recent MOT test on June 24, 2025, confirms the vehicle passed without any recorded defects at 58,838 miles, indicating current roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three tests—including the duplicate entry for July 1, 2024—suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the repeated failure date raises minor administrative confusion rather than mechanical concern. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the vehicle has not been subject to major advisory issues such as suspension deterioration, exhaust leaks, or structural corrosion. The consistent pass status implies the previous owner adhered to MOT requirements, though this does not guarantee unseen wear on high-mileage components like coil springs or drivetrain seals. The mileage progression of approximately 6,500 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no prolonged periods of inactivity or rapid accumulation. The gap between tests averages around 12 months, which is standard, though the duplicate failure entry for July 2024—likely a system error—does not reflect mechanical neglect. There are no red flags in the recorded mileage, though the absence of pre-MOT servicing records means the buyer should verify whether major services (e.g., timing belt, transfer case fluid) were conducted at intervals recommended by Land Rover. Given the lack of defects in the MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension components, particularly the condition of the coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has seen varied terrain. Examine the underbody for corrosion around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as aluminium-bodied Evoques can develop hidden rust in less obvious areas. Finally, verify the integrity of the transfer case and differential seals, as these are common failure points in high-mileage 4x4s, even without explicit MOT mention.
