2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · YB17 JLX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 76,925 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple mechanical deficiencies. The recurring nature of exhaust emissions and brake component failures across several years suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to by an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is typical for a nine-year-old Range Rover Evoque. The vehicle covered roughly 6,600 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 7,000 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady usage indicates the car has not sat idle for long periods, which explains the progressive wear observed on consumable items like brakes and tyres noted in the record. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system and exhaust assembly in person. The record shows that rear brake discs were flagged in both 2024 and 2025, while thin front pads and pitted discs appeared in the most recent failure. This indicates a failure to service the brakes between tests. Furthermore, the repeated failure for excessive smoke emissions in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a potential underlying issue with fuel mixture, oxygen sensors, or turbo health that requires a professional diagnostic check to ensure the engine remains reliable. The nearside front tyre was noted as worn on the edge in late 2025, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be inspected to avoid premature tyre wear.
