AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official DVSA records. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 43,197 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows two previous clean passes in 2025 and 2024, suggesting a consistent standard of upkeep and no recurring issues with structural integrity or major mechanical components. The mileage accumulation appears steady and aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The car has covered 43,197 miles over its five-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,639 miles per year. The data shows a logical progression from 26,982 miles in March 2024 to 36,622 miles in February 2025, and finally to 43,197 miles in February 2026. This consistent annual mileage suggests regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. Since the MOT history is entirely clear of advisories, there are no documented trends of worsening wear regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. However, because the vehicle has been driven consistently, a physical inspection should focus on consumables that MOT testers often overlook. You should specifically examine the condition of the tyre tread and sidewalls, the state of the wiper blades, and the overall condition of the brake pads and discs to ensure they match the clean MOT history. Given the Land Rover's weight and typical driving patterns, check for any signs of premature wear in the suspension bushings or control arms. While the electronic records show no faults, a manual check of the underbody for corrosion or leaks is a prudent step for any used vehicle. The absence of any previous failures or advisories in the recorded history is a positive indicator for a prospective buyer.

Our Verdict

A strong candidate for buyers seeking a

When inspecting this specific 2.0L diesel Velar, verify the service history to ensure the mild-hybrid (MHEV) components and diesel particulate filter (DPF) have been managed correctly, especially if used for short urban trips. Since the MOT history shows no defects, focus your inspection on the interior condition and the responsiveness of the electronic systems typical of the R-Dyn trim.

Negotiate based on the mileage, which is trending above the aggregate annual average for this model. Check that all scheduled Land Rover service intervals have been met, as the MOT record alone does not confirm mechanical maintenance beyond basic safety compliance.

As a 2.0L diesel, this Velar is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though running costs will be influenced by its weight and luxury specification. You should expect moderate fuel economy, which is typical for the MHEV diesel variants in this class.

Insurance groups for Range Rover Velars tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote specific to the LT21ARU registration. Maintenance costs for Land Rover vehicles can be higher than mainstream brands, particularly for specialized parts. Estimated annual running costs typically fall between £1,500 and £2,200 depending on usage and insurance profile.

While this vehicle has had no MOT failures, the model aggregate data indicates that tyres, windscreen wipers, and engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues are common failure points for this model. Carefully inspect the tread depth and condition of all four tyres and ensure the wiper blades are not streaking.

Pay close attention to any warning lights on the dashboard during a test drive to rule out the 'engine MIL inoperative' issue noted in the wider model data. Additionally, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are common wear items not always captured by a 'pass' result if they are within legal limits but nearing replacement.

This 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar R-Dyn S D MHEV A has covered 43,197 miles since its first registration in March 2021. The MOT history is notably clean, with passed tests in 2024, 2025, and 2026 showing no recorded defects or advisories. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model aggregate average of 9,409 miles per year, but remains within a reasonable range for a diesel engine of this type.

Aggregate data for this model shows an 86.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to consumables like tyres and wipers.
