LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR2019 · 2.0L DIESEL

This 2019 Range Rover Velar presents a notably clean MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 29 August 2025 at 45,873 miles, passed with zero defects. Looking back through the history, every single annual test since August 2022 has passed without a single advisory or failure. The maintenance trend is stable and, in fact, exemplary. No recurring faults, no emerging mechanical concerns, and no pattern of deterioration is visible in the official DVSA data. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. From 18,768 miles at the August 2022 test, the vehicle added 8,575 miles over the following twelve months, then another 8,111 miles by August 2023, and a further 10,419 miles by August 2024. The most recent year shows a significant drop, with the odometer reading 45,873 miles in August 2025, meaning the vehicle covered zero miles in the twelve months between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This suggests the car may have been stored, stood, or simply unused for an extended period. The overall average of roughly 6,553 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, though the recent inactivity warrants closer scrutiny during any physical inspection. Despite the flawless MOT history, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person assessment. A vehicle that has stood for a full year may present issues that MOT tests do not always catch, such as perished tyre sidewalls from age rather than wear, brake discs surface-corroded from prolonged parking, or suspension bushes dried and cracked from disuse. The tyres should be checked for date codes and dry rot, particularly if the original factory-fit rubber is still in place. Brake fluid condition should also be verified, as moisture absorption over a stationary period can degrade boiling point without any visible symptom. The Velar's complex air suspension system and electronic parking brake mechanisms deserve attention on a test drive, listening for compressor run-on or caliper drag after the vehicle has been standing. Underbody inspection for corrosion around mounting points and subframes is sensible, as even low-mileage luxury SUVs can suffer if stored in damp conditions. The MOT record gives strong confidence, but the gap in recent use means a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains a prudent step.
