2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · AD13 ARM

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 96,978 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to previous years, which frequently flagged consumable-related issues. While the latest report is clear, the historical pattern of advisories suggests that the current owner has recently addressed recurring wear issues identified in earlier inspections. The mileage profile reflects consistent heavy usage, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is higher than the national average for an eight-year-old vehicle. There was a significant jump of 13,050 miles between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, followed by another 13,786 miles before the February 2026 test. This rapid accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain and air suspension components typical of a heavy luxury SUV like the Range Rover Velar. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and tyres, as the record shows a persistent history of tyres worn to the legal limit or uneven edges across 2021, 2023, and 2024. This pattern of edge wear often indicates alignment issues or premature suspension bushing failure which could be costly to rectify. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of leaks in the air springs or wear on the brake calipers, as these are common points of failure as these vehicles approach the 100,000-mile mark.
