2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · D19 TAG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance record shows a worsening trend regarding braking component surface condition. While it passed the most recent 2026 test at 45,367 miles, both front and rear brake discs were flagged as pitted or scored. This represents a progression from the 2025 test where only the front inner disc showed similar issues, indicating that the braking hardware is now reaching the end of its effective life. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-use suburban driving, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between the 2022 test at 14,422 miles and the 2026 test at 45,367 miles, with a notable jump of 10,031 miles between the 2025 and 2026 inspections. This low annual mileage often leads to surface corrosion on iron components if the vehicle is not driven frequently, which likely explains the pitting and scoring noted in the recent MOT entries. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to determine if the pitting is superficial or indicates structural thinning of the discs. The recurring mentions of windscreen damage in 2024 and 2025 suggest a history of stone chips, so the glass should be checked for developing cracks that may now require replacement. Given the age and low mileage, the inspector should also verify the rubber suspension bushings for signs of cracking or dry rot, as these components can degrade over time regardless of distance driven.
