2016 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0L Diesel · YF16 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Following a clean record in October 2024, the car failed its test in October 2025 due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and worn brake components. While it passed the re-test one mile later at 53,906 miles, the presence of thin brake pads and pitted, scored discs suggests that the previous owner neglected brake service until they reached a failure state rather than replacing them during scheduled intervals. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage patterns, moving from 16,736 miles in 2019 to 53,906 miles by late 2025. However, the significant gap of 10,272 miles between October 2022 and October 2023 indicates a period of relative inactivity. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion, which may correlate with the fractured coil spring identified in the most recent test. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension for any signs of further wear or leaking shock absorbers, as the fractured spring often indicates stress on the entire assembly. The braking system requires a thorough check to ensure the pitted discs noted in the October 2025 test were actually replaced rather than merely resurfaced. Given the low mileage history, the buyer should also check for brake caliper seizing and surface rust on the rotors, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses.
