Should I buy a high mileage Evoque?
I have long coveted a Range Rover Evoque but have never been able to afford one. I have now seen a 2011 model 2.2 SD4 Pure Tech for sale under £20,000. The reason is mileage of 125,000. In your opinion, is a car with this mileage likely to be a money-pit?

The only reason Evoques command high prices is status. I reckon that 125k miles wipes out that status. £20k is far too much and could lead to a lot of trouble. The first thing it needs is a new timing belt, tensioner and waterpump. The next thing will be a new DMF and clutch (assuming it's manual). As well as that a new EGR, new DPF, new turbo. About £6k of grief. So if you can't chip it down to £15k, leave it alone.
