2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · D526 SAM

The 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 7 June 2025 at 93,661 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns, indicating consistent statutory compliance by prior keepers. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,400 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle of this class. The records show a marked step between 15 December 2021 at 49,002 miles and 7 December 2022 at 64,256 miles, a 15,254-mile year, before the rate settled to around 4,800 miles per annum through to 2025. No test gaps exist; each entry falls within statutory windows and all show zero defects, so the DVSA data alone gives no signal of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these items draw no MOT comment yet accumulate hidden fatigue between tests. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is favourable, but Velar chassis legs and subframe mounts warrant visual checks for early rust given winter road salt exposure. Given the clean record, focus physical checks on tyre sidewall condition, fluid intervals, and drivetrain smoothness rather than fault correction. The prior owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard; no evidence suggests skipped basic upkeep across the five recorded tests.
