2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar R-DYN HSE Phev A 2.0L Hybrid electric · FV21 MLE

The vehicle holds a current and valid MOT certificate issued on 21 May 2026 at 34,061 miles, indicating a stable mechanical history with no major failures recorded over the past three years. The most recent inspection identified slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which serves as a necessary advisory for future maintenance. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, this specific component will require monitoring as it represents the first instance of mechanical wear documented in the available test history. Annual mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a luxury SUV of this age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year since its first test. The progression from 22,675 miles in May 2024 to the current 34,061 miles confirms regular, steady use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This level of usage is generally favourable for the complex plug-in hybrid drivetrain, as it avoids the risks associated with vehicles left to stand for extended durations. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components, specifically the nearside lower ball joint flagged during the latest test. While the current play is minor, it is a common wear point on this chassis and may necessitate replacement if the steering feel becomes vague or if knocking noises develop. The previous MOT records confirm that the vehicle has otherwise been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring issues regarding braking systems, structural corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Ensure that the windscreen tint noted in 2025 does not impede visibility during night driving and confirms that the child seats noted in recent tests were removed to allow for a full inspection of the rear seatbelt mechanisms.
