2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.2L Diesel · YW15 EPJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-28 at 138,895 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting it meets current roadworthiness standards. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-26 at 138,890 miles failed without recorded defects, raising questions about procedural consistency or potential unresolved issues. The pattern of alternating passes and fails in 2025 and 2024, with no defects noted, indicates an unstable maintenance history. While the latest test is positive, the lack of detailed failure reasons and the proximity of tests at near-identical mileages imply possible administrative errors or unaddressed underlying concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 138,895 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 12,627 miles annually, which is high for its age and suggests frequent use. The 2024 test at 121,156 miles passed without issues, but the subsequent 2025 tests at 130,541 and 130,539 miles showed inconsistent outcomes. The rapid accumulation of 8,385 miles between 2024 and 2025 tests increases the likelihood of wear on consumables and mechanical components. The sparse defect data in the records, despite these mileage jumps, may reflect either diligent maintenance or incomplete reporting, leaving gaps in assessing long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can arise from excessive use. The exhaust system’s integrity and emissions compliance should also be verified, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual degradation. Structural corrosion, particularly in a vehicle of this age, warrants a thorough underbody examination. The erratic MOT outcomes and high usage history necessitate a physical inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical condition beyond the recorded data.
