LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR2019 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 77,723 miles with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the 2026 test was clean, the previous 2025 failure due to critical tyre tread depth and a suspension ball joint defect indicates that the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a legal failure point. At 77,723 miles over seven years, the Range Rover averages approximately 11,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a premium SUV. The mileage accumulation is consistent between test intervals, with roughly 8,700 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,200 miles since the most recent inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than suffering long periods of standing, which generally prevents internal degradation of mechanical components. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension, as the lower arm ball joints have appeared as a recurring fault across 2023 and 2025. The tester flagged play in both the nearside and offside front units at 55,519 miles, and the nearside unit failed again at 72,522 miles. Because these components are known points of wear on the Velar, a physical inspection is required to check for remaining play or आवाज in the joints to ensure the repairs were executed with quality parts. The history also reveals a trend of poor tyre management. The 2024 test at 64,246 miles noted all four tyres were worn to the legal limit or suffered from cuts and nails, followed by a 2025 failure for two rear tyres being below the 1.6mm threshold. While these appear to have been replaced given the passes, the buyer should verify the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushings.
