2018 Land Rover R Rover Velar R-DYN SE D180 A 2.0L Diesel · AE68 CJZ

The vehicle presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 20 November 2024 at 75,536 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating that all major structural, mechanical, and emissions systems met the required standards at that time. A clean bill of health across three consecutive tests suggests a previous owner who addressed potential issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. At roughly eight years old with 75,536 miles on the clock, the annual accumulation of approximately 9,442 miles sits squarely within typical usage parameters. The record shows a notable gap between the November 2022 test at 53,520 miles and the February 2024 test at 70,235 miles, representing 16,715 miles covered over fifteen months. Following this, the mileage increased by 5,301 miles over the subsequent nine months to the November 2024 test, indicating a slight reduction in monthly usage or a period of lighter commuting in the latter half of last year. Despite the pristine MOT record, the absence of recurring faults does not negate the need for a thorough physical inspection, particularly given the vehicle's age and the Land Rover marque's known vulnerabilities. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the air suspension components, listening for compressor run-on or noting any uneven ride height, as these systems often degrade without triggering an MOT failure until catastrophic. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and check the inner edges of all four tyres for irregular degradation, which can indicate alignment issues or binding calipers that might not yet constitute a testable defect. Furthermore, scrutinise the underbody and wheel arches for corrosion, paying close attention to the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes. Since the current MOT certificate expired in November 2025 and the vehicle is now legally due a fresh test, verifying its structural integrity and roadworthiness right now falls entirely on the buyer's pre-purchase inspection.
