2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar Rdyn SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · BU71 SSZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 23 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a brief technical failure just five days prior to that successful test. The failure on 18 September 2025 was attributed to faulty testing equipment preventing a brake performance check, rather than a mechanical defect on the Velar itself. Once the equipment issue was rectified, the vehicle passed with no recorded defects or advisories. The recorded mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, with only 12,562 miles recorded. Between the September 2024 test at 8,092 miles and the September 2025 test at 12,562 miles, the car covered only 4,470 miles. This average of approximately 2,500 miles per year suggests minimal road use or long periods of inactivity. However, extended periods of standing can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or degradation of rubber components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system in person to ensure that the low mileage has not caused surface corrosion on the brake discs or seized calipers. While the recent MOT failure was equipment-related, verifying the physical condition of the pads and rotors is prudent given the vehicle sits frequently. Additionally, check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking as low-mileage vehicles often age through environmental exposure rather than mechanical wear.
