2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · DE51 AJA

This Range Rover Velar has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across all five MOT tests, with no defects or advisories recorded between March 2022 and April 2026. The most recent test on April 8, 2026, at 78,550 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the lack of any recorded issues means no specific weaknesses have been formally documented. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging approximately 8,700 miles annually—a rate typical for its age. There are no significant gaps between tests, with the longest interval between March 2024 (60,738 miles) and March 2023 (48,430 miles) amounting to just under 12,000 miles. This regularity implies consistent driving habits rather than prolonged neglect or extended periods of disuse. However, the lack of service records means potential wear on high-wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear trailing arms and subframe mounts, which are common failure points on this model. The brakes—though never flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the absence of advisories does not rule out gradual deterioration. Additionally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, especially around the sills and rear wheel housings, where structural integrity can degrade over time. The absence of emissions-related advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a recent diagnostic check for catalytic converter efficiency would provide further assurance.
