2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ED D Mhev A 2.0L Diesel · HA70 OOD

The DVSA MOT record for this 2022 Range Rover Velar presents a notably clean two-test history, with both the 2025-06-05 and 2026-05-22 examinations resulting in passes and no advisories or defects of any kind recorded against the vehicle. Across roughly twelve months of testing there is no documented evidence of wear-related issues on items such as the suspension, braking system, tyres, exhaust, or lighting, and no corrosion advisories have been raised on structural or underbody components. While a clean MOT history cannot establish the internal mechanical condition of the drivetrain, hybrid system, or non-tested items, the absence of recurring advisories does suggest the vehicle has not, as far as DVSA testing can determine, developed the typical wear patterns (such as binding brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, or early exhaust corrosion) that often appear on Velars of this age. At 34,888 miles over a four-year life, the Velar is averaging approximately 8,722 miles annually, which sits squarely within the normal usage band for a modern premium SUV of this type and rules out both the low-mileage standing issues and the high-mileage consumable wear concerns. The mileage progression between the two recorded tests is consistent and gradual, with no anomalous spikes, gaps, or periods of inactivity that would suggest long lay-ups or unusual usage patterns. The annual accumulation rate is sufficient to keep the diesel particulate filter, AdBlue system, MHEV electrical components, and brake discs working regularly without inducing the rapid wear associated with high-mileage motorway use. Tyres and brake pads should therefore still have a reasonable service life remaining, though a physical inspection of pad and disc thickness remains sensible given the vehicle's weight and the real-world variability not captured by MOT records. For a prospective buyer, the lack of any flagged advisories means the standard pre-purchase inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not cover in depth, particularly the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine for timing chain stretch, injector weep, and oil consumption, as well as the MHEV 48V system for known battery and belt-driven integrated starter-generator concerns. On a road test, listen carefully for any diesel cold-start rattle that does not settle within a second or two, and check for any hesitation, misfire, or excessive vibration under load which could point to injector or boost issues. Inspect the undertrays for any signs of oil misting or recent cleaning that might mask leaks from the sump, turbo, or oil filter housing, and verify that the AdBlue tank has been topped up with the correct fluid rather than an aftermarket substitute. Pay particular attention to the air suspension on a Variants equipped with this system, listening for any compressor cycling under load, any sagging at the rear when stationary, and any harshness over speed humps that could indicate leaking air struts or failing valve block seals. On the test drive, evaluate the eight-speed automatic transmission for any delayed engagement, shunt on pull-away, or hesitation during kickdown, and confirm that four-wheel-drive engagement and the terrain response modes operate as intended. Finally, ensure all infotainment, camera, and sensor systems function correctly, as Velars of this era are known for software-related electrical glitches, and confirm that the digital instrumentation and climate control operate without flicker or intermittent failure.
