2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · XW08 LEY

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failed MOT test on April 8, 2026. While the previous history shows a clean record for several years, the most recent failure at 134,497 miles without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a specific sensor-related failure that was not fully documented. The maintenance trend appears stable between 2022 and 2025, but the recent failure indicates that the vehicle requires immediate attention before it can be considered roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 120,564 miles and April 2025 at 129,990 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 3,100 miles annually, indicating lighter use. The jump of 4,507 miles recorded between April 2025 and April 2026 shows a slight increase in recent activity. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though age-related components are likely reaching their wear limits. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, as these are common failure points for the Evoque at this mileage bracket. Given the clean history of advisories, there is no documented evidence of progressive structural corrosion or binding calipers, yet the lack of recorded defects on the failed April 2026 test warrants a thorough check to see if the failure was related to emissions or a mechanical fault that the tester failed to detail. Inspecting for leaks in the engine and shock absorbers is essential to ensure the high-mileage history has not compromised the drivetrain integrity.
