2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ED D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · RJ21 AHK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 12 December 2025 at 53,594 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past year. The absence of advisories or failings in either of the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition compliant with current MOT standards, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The 2024 and 2025 tests occurred at regular intervals—just under a year apart—with no evidence of rushed or neglected servicing. However, the lack of a 2026 test means the vehicle has not been officially assessed since December, leaving a 7-month gap where potential issues could have arisen. The recorded mileage of 53,594 miles over approximately five years—roughly 10,700 miles annually—falls within the expected range for this model’s age, though it does not account for any periods of inactivity or storage. The jump from 41,681 miles in December 2024 to 53,594 miles in December 2025 represents 11,913 miles in a single year, which is slightly above the average but not alarmingly high. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern itself, though the absence of intermediate service records means there is no confirmation of regular oil changes, fluid top-ups, or suspension/bush inspections. The vehicle’s age and mileage suggest consumable components—tyres, brake pads, wiper blades, and cabin filters—will require closer scrutiny. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The lack of MOT advisories does not rule out degraded suspension components, which can accelerate wear on tyres and handling. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, as MOT tests do not always catch early-stage issues. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants inspection for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has seen off-road use or exposure to salted roads. Given the 7-month gap since the last test, a thorough brake fluid flush and differential/transmission fluid check would be advisable to confirm no deferred maintenance has compromised performance.
