LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR2019 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent testing history indicates a deteriorating trend in maintenance standards. While it passed the February 2026 test at 43,435 miles, it had failed just three days prior at 43,391 miles. This failure involved an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light, a faulty windscreen washer, and an offside front exhaust leak. Although these issues were reportedly rectified for the retest, the presence of an MIL fault suggests underlying electronic issues that were ignored until the MOT inspection process. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year over its seven-year life. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 4,885 miles, showing a steady rate of use. However, the 5,664 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026 shows consistent operation. This low mileage often reduces wear on heavy drivetrain and suspension components but can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system to ensure the minor leak identified in February 2026 has been properly sealed rather than patched. The recurring advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025 indicate a pattern of neglecting basic consumable maintenance, suggesting the previous owner waited until failure points before taking action. Verify the engine management system for any stored fault codes related to the previously reported MIL, as an intermittent warning light can mask more serious sensor failures or emission issues that require expensive repairs.
