2012 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · YP12 KWY

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a worsening trend in structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 106,631 miles, this followed a significant failure just three days prior that revealed multiple defects. The presence of corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames, along with a seriously corroded fuel tank bash plate, indicates that the structural integrity of the chassis is beginning to deteriorate, requiring immediate close monitoring to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for moderate annual mileages, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 5,525 miles, followed by another 3,620 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This relatively steady usage suggests the vehicle is not subjected to high stress, yet the recurring failures of components like coil springs and tyres indicate that parts are suffering from age-related decay and neglect rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the rust on the sub-frames and fuel tank components. The history shows a recurring pattern of suspension issues, including fractured rear coil springs and worn control arm bushes, which suggests the need for a comprehensive overhaul of the rubber and spring components. Furthermore, the braking system has shown signs of neglect, with recorded instances of thin pads, pitted discs, and corroded pipes in 2024 and 2025. The repeated mention of perished tyres across multiple years suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, leading to rubber degradation.
