2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · DU68 LGE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of consistent passes despite minor mechanical setbacks. The most recent test in September 2025 at 68,039 miles resulted in a pass but noted advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres showing cracking or perishing. This indicates age-related rubber degradation rather than tread wear, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods despite the low annual mileage. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 25,583 miles and July 2024 at 62,077 miles, the car covered 36,494 miles, representing a higher-than-average usage period compared to the 17,493 miles recorded since the 2023 test. This steady accumulation suggests a regular driving regime which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to vehicles subjected to long-term inactivity. A buyer should inspect the condition of all four tyres specifically, as the 2025 advisory suggests the rear pair is reaching the end of their structural life due to dry rot. The 2024 failure regarding ineffective windscreen wipers was a minor consumable issue, but it highlights the need to check the wiper arm tension and condition. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake-related failures, the primary focus should remain on the air suspension components and bushings for wear or leaks, as these are common points of failure for this model at this mileage bracket.
