2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · Y90 SAA

The most recent MOT test on 2025-12-19 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 101,410 miles, maintaining a consistent pass history across all available tests. The absence of advisories or failures in the past two cycles suggests no recurring mechanical issues have been overlooked, though the near-consecutive failure in December 2024—just two miles before passing—indicates a potential oversight in scheduling or a minor, easily corrected fault (such as a minor emission or lighting issue). The trend remains stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions, but the proximity of the last test to the current date (less than seven months ago) provides a relatively recent baseline for inspection. The mileage progression shows typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 11,268 miles annually, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (approximately 12 months) aligns with standard MOT intervals, and the minor discrepancy in mileage between the failed and passed December 2024 tests (just 2 miles) suggests no significant mileage manipulation. There are no red flags in the recorded usage pattern, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear on consumable components—such as brake pads, suspension bushes, or timing belts—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely covered by the test. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to gradual degradation over 100,000 miles. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on discs, especially if the vehicle has seen off-road use. Structural integrity is another critical area; check for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as Land Rover Evoques are susceptible to rust in high-stress areas. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emission-related failures in past tests could indicate underlying issues with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors.
