2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar R-DYN S D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · CE70 LAN

This Land Rover Velar has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no serious defects recorded in the most recent test on 2026-05-22 at 47,594 miles. The only advisory from the 2025-04-24 test—rear brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring—has not recurred, suggesting either corrective action or that the condition was not severe enough to fail the vehicle. The absence of advisories or defects in the 2024 and 2026 tests indicates the vehicle has passed its mandatory inspections without major concerns, though the rear brakes warrant closer scrutiny given their prior flagging. The recorded mileage of 47,594 miles over five years—approximately 9,500 miles annually—falls within typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle. There is a notable gap between the 2024 test at 26,584 miles and the 2025 test at 42,242 miles, indicating around 15,658 miles were covered in just over a year, which is above average but not alarming. The most recent MOT was conducted just two months ago, ensuring the vehicle remains current for road use. However, the irregular mileage accumulation—particularly the rapid increase between tests—may suggest inconsistent maintenance intervals, which could impact components like suspension bushes or drivetrain fluids. A prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear brake system, given the 2025 advisory of worn, pitted, or scored discs. The condition of the rear calipers should also be checked for binding or excessive wear, as repeated braking stress could accelerate deterioration. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or excessive play, particularly around the rear axle where wear is often more pronounced. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch protection, is critical for this model, as standing water or off-road use can accelerate rust. Finally, the MHEV hybrid system’s battery health and cooling system should be verified, as hybrid components are less commonly inspected outside MOT tests.
