2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar Rdyn SE D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · EN15 EMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the latest test in March 2026 at 38,622 miles passed, it introduced advisories for thin rear brake pads and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This indicates that components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds or trigger MOT warnings, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage use, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady progression between tests, from 21,670 miles in March 2024 to 31,846 miles in March 2025, and finally 38,622 miles in March 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is beneficial for rubber components and mechanical seals, though the low mileage explains the age-related degradation despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre set, as the 2025 test flagged cracking and perishing across all four tyres. This condition often occurs on low-mileage vehicles that remain exposed to the elements without sufficient use to keep the rubber supple. The 2026 advisory regarding edge wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that requires immediate investigation to prevent premature wear of new rubber.
