2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · EF68 AEE

The Velar presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent DVSA test, conducted on 28 April 2025 at 69,812 miles and roughly fourteen months before the current July 2026 date, returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show consistent clean results. The only blemish is a fail logged on 9 March 2023 at 54,396 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on 13 March 2023 at 54,412 miles. This anomaly suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the overall maintenance picture remains sound. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 45,716 miles at the 26 April 2022 test, rose to 54,412 miles by mid March 2023, then 63,586 miles on 7 March 2024, and 69,812 miles by April 2025. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 8,700 miles, though the final interval shows a slight slowdown to about 6,200 miles over thirteen months. The record is sparse but unblemished aside from the curious 2023 fail, indicating regular testing and no prolonged periods without scrutiny. Buyers should still conduct a physical inspection of key mechanical components despite the clean MOT lineage. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural corrosion across any examination. Nevertheless, a Velar of this age warrants hands-on checks for worn suspension arms, exhaust emissions compliance, and undertray rust. The 2023 fail with zero defects demands verification of the test certificate and V5C to rule out clerical error. Tyres and wiper blades remain consumable items not reflected in the history.
