2017 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · YC17 VRW

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following a clean pass in the June 2025 test at 86,336 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, moving from a failed test in June 2024 to a defect-free result in the most recent inspection. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified during the 2024 inspection were addressed by the owner. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 55,462 miles in April 2022 to 86,336 miles in June 2025. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular driving patterns or odometer tampering. A buyer should focus on the engine and lubrication system during a physical inspection. The June 2024 test flagged an oil leak and an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. While the 2025 test recorded no defects, the previous presence of an oil leak warrants a close check of the engine bay for residual seepage or signs of recent repairs. The tester also noted an engine MIL issue during the 2024 failure, so verifying that all dashboard warning lights function correctly is essential. The braking system and tyres also require scrutiny. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for thin rear brake pads, appearing in both the April 2023 and June 2024 tests. Although the 2025 test was clean, the repetitive nature of this fault suggests the owner may have been reactive rather than proactive with consumable maintenance. A physical check of the remaining brake pad thickness and the condition of the front tyres is necessary to ensure they meet current safety standards.
