2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque R-DYN S D A 2.0L Diesel · XM02 AMG

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward neglected consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test in January 2026 at 31,857 miles passed successfully but introduced an advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing cracking or perishing. This indicates that while the vehicle remains mechanically compliant, the rubber components are beginning to suffer age-related degradation due to low usage rather than distance-based wear. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per annum. There is a visible gap between the October 2022 test at 17,767 miles and the January 2024 test at 23,571 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 6,000 miles in just fifteen months. This spike in usage is consistent with the overall low mileage, but the generally low frequency of movement can sometimes lead to dry seals or flat spotting if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment settings in person. The January 2024 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres for excessive inner edge wear, reaching the legal limit. This pattern strongly suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that were not fully addressed despite the tester recommendation. Given the 2026 advisory regarding perishing sidewalls, a thorough check of all tyre age and dry rot is essential to ensure the low mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the rubber.
