2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 3.0L Diesel · AP10 SSP

The 2020 Range Rover Velar presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 31 January 2026 at 56,020 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A single advisory for wearing rear brake pads was recorded in the June 2023 test at 27,567 miles, but this minor consumable issue was rectified well before the subsequent clean passes in 2024 and 2025. There are no recurring faults or structural warnings on file. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a six-year-old vehicle. The recorded intervals show steady use: 27,567 miles in June 2023, 37,285 miles in June 2024, 42,364 miles in February 2025, and 56,020 miles in January 2026. This equates to roughly 9,300 miles per year, with a slightly higher accumulation rate in the most recent period. The gap between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests covers nearly 14,000 miles in under a year, suggesting sustained regular use rather than prolonged standing, which is generally favourable for preventing long-term corrosion or component seizure. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. The Velar's aluminium-intensive construction is generally robust, but the subframe mounting points and lower suspension arms should be checked for stone damage and corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used on ungritted roads. The rear braking system, flagged once for wear, should be inspected for disc lipping and caliper slider function, as binding can occur silently between tests. The air suspension system, a common fitment on this model, must be cycled through its ride height settings and checked for compressor dwell time and airbag integrity. Tyre condition and date codes should be verified, as uneven wear can indicate alignment drift or worn bushes not severe enough to trigger a failure.
