2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar Rdyn SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · D28 GCS

The most recent MOT test on 4 August 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 63,867 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across both tests—including the latest—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the lack of intermediate checks between December 2024 and August 2025 means no recent diagnostic oversight. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural integrity at the last test is reassuring, but the extended gap between tests (19 months) raises questions about whether routine servicing was conducted in that period. The recorded mileage of 63,867 miles over five years equates to approximately 12,773 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age and category. The jump from 48,461 miles in December 2024 to 63,867 miles in August 2025—a 15,406-mile increase in just eight months—indicates either intensive use or a period of significant driving. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake pads, particularly if the vehicle was not serviced regularly. The sparse MOT history does not provide insight into service intervals, but the high mileage per year suggests the previous owner may have deferred maintenance. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, dampers, and coil springs, as these are likely candidates for accelerated wear at this mileage. The brakes, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not reveal any historical brake-related advisories. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and exposure to UK road conditions. Finally, the drivetrain—including the MHEV hybrid system—should be assessed for any fluid leaks or degraded components, as hybrid vehicles often require more frequent attention than conventional models.
