2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · DC18 EKZ

The most recent MOT test on 2025-07-08 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent four-year pass streak. The absence of advisories or recurring failures across all five tests suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake calipers. The double entry for 2022—one pass and one fail—appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error or a brief oversight in test scheduling rather than a mechanical trend. No structural or emissions-related advisories have emerged, which is notable given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 99,233 miles over eight years equates to approximately 12,400 miles annually, a rate significantly above the UK average for this class of vehicle. This suggests either intensive use or prolonged periods of inactivity followed by rapid accumulation, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The most recent MOT was conducted just over a year ago, aligning with the standard three-year test interval, but the lack of advisories or failures does not account for potential deferred maintenance. Buyers should verify whether the mileage has been accurately logged, as discrepancies between odometer readings and MOT records are not uncommon in high-mileage vehicles. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, an in-person inspection should prioritise the suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and track rods—for signs of fatigue or corrosion. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around joints and underbody components, while the subframe and sills should be inspected for rust penetration. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are intact, and a professional pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised to identify any deferred or concealed issues.
