2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Petrol · EL52 ART

A consistent record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 09 February 2026 resulting in a pass despite a minor defect regarding a defective offside front windscreen wiper blade. The MOT history shows a stable trend, having passed all inspections since 2022 without any recorded failures. While the record is largely clean, there have been intermittent advisories concerning the braking system, specifically regarding rear brake pad wear in 2023 and inner face corrosion on the nearside front and offside front brake discs in 2025, indicating that while the vehicle meets minimum standards, the braking components are subject to standard wear and environmental exposure. The recorded mileage of 53,128 miles against a seven-year age profile indicates an average annual usage of approximately 7,590 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a premium SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-speed motorway mileage nor has it been left stationary for extended periods which can lead to component seizure. Mechanically, this level of accumulation suggests that consumables such as brake pads, discs, and wiper blades are at a stage where replacement cycles are expected, but the drivetrain and suspension components should not yet be experiencing the accelerated wear associated with much higher mileage profiles. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection and test drive, given the history of thin rear pads and disc corrosion. It is advisable to check for any signs of brake judder or pulsation through the pedal when braking at speed, which can indicate uneven disc wear or warping. Additionally, listen for any squealing or grinding noises during low-speed manoeuvres that might suggest the previously advisory-rated pads or discs require immediate replacement. The recent wiper blade defect is a minor point, but the wiper assembly should be checked for smooth operation and clear visibility to ensure no further obstruction to the windscreen. Beyond the braking system, the general stability of the MOT record suggests that major structural or suspension components have not been flagged for corrosion or failure. However, because the vehicle is approaching a higher mileage threshold, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and any potential oil misting around the engine or gearbox is prudent. During the test drive, pay attention to any knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces or pulling to one side during braking, which would help verify the integrity of the steering and suspension linkages beyond what the MOT advisories have specifically highlighted.
