2024 Land Rover R-Rover Velar DYN HSE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · AS04 AGS

The DVSA records show that this 2024 Land Rover R‑Rover Velar D‑Hybrid has no MOT history on file, meaning there is no recent test outcome to reference and consequently no trend of pass or fail results that can be interpreted as stable, deteriorating or improving. In the absence of any documented MOT, the buyer should treat the vehicle as having an unknown compliance status and arrange for a fresh MOT as soon as possible to establish its current roadworthiness and to uncover any latent defects that may have arisen since its first registration. Mileage has not been supplied, so a direct comparison with the vehicle’s two‑year age cannot be made. For a contemporary 2024 model, average annual mileage in the UK typically ranges between 8,000 and 12,000 miles; a figure substantially below this range would suggest limited use and could point to age‑related deterioration of components such as rubber seals, tyres and battery, whereas mileage well above the average would indicate higher wear on the suspension bushings, clutch and braking system. Without a recorded odometer reading the buyer should request a verifiable mileage figure from the seller and, if possible, corroborate it with service stamps, fuel receipts or a full‑service history. Given the lack of MOT data and the uncertainty around mileage, the prospective purchaser should conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection of the vehicle’s key mechanical and structural items. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that may indicate mis‑alignment or suspension degradation; check the wheels for corrosion, especially on the alloy rims and hub bolts. Inspect the under‑carriage for any signs of rust on the chassis, suspension arms, brake lines and exhaust hangers, as prolonged standing can accelerate corrosion on a relatively new vehicle. Verify the condition of the 12 V battery, looking for swollen cases or leaking electrolyte, and test the state of charge; a hybrid system also relies on the high‑voltage battery, so a diagnostic read‑out from a Land Rover dealer would confirm its health. Finally, confirm that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid coolant – are at the correct level, free of contamination and have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, typically every 12‑24 months regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any clunk, squeak or groan from the front and rear suspension, which could reveal worn coil springs, bushings or dampers. Observe the steering for excessive play or a vague vibration that may denote worn steering rack components or tyre imbalance. Pay attention to the braking response; any pulsation, shudder or a soft pedal could be a symptom of warped discs, glazed pads or a failing caliper. Monitor the hybrid system’s display for warning messages and note any abnormal noises from the electric motor or its cooling fans. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified Land Rover specialist will verify the condition of the hybrid powertrain, electronic control units and safety‑critical systems, ensuring that any hidden faults are identified before the transaction is finalised.
