2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · Y14 WDJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 February 2026. While the overall history shows a consistent pattern of passes, the maintenance trend is beginning to shift from a clean record toward the emergence of age-related wear. The absence of defects between 2019 and 2021 suggests a well-maintained start, but the appearance of brake advisories in 2022 and 2023, followed by suspension and tyre concerns in the latest test, indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where routine component replacement is becoming necessary. With a recorded mileage of 75,659 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,305 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for this model, avoiding the pitfalls of extreme high-mileage drivetrain wear or the degradation associated with prolonged periods of standing. This balanced mileage suggests that the mechanical components have been exercised regularly, though it also means that rubber consumables and suspension bushings are reaching the end of their natural service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the nearside front lower suspension arm. The reported wear in the pin and bush can lead to imprecise steering and audible clunks or knocks when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring. During the test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or instability under braking. Additionally, the offside rear tyre requires a physical inspection to ensure the cut has not progressed or compromised the structural integrity of the carcass. It is also advisable to check the date codes on all tyres to ensure they have not perished due to age, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the previous advisories regarding thin brake pads and the mention of under-trays obscuring the inspector's view, a thorough underbody inspection is essential. Verify through service records that the brake pads and discs were replaced following the 2023 advisories. Because under-trays can mask slow leaks or localized corrosion, the vehicle should be raised on a lift to inspect the chassis and engine bay for oil seepage or coolant leaks. Finally, ensure that the service history confirms calendar-based fluid changes, as oil and coolant degradation occurs over time regardless of the moderate annual mileage.
