2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Petrol · JU13 ADE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on April 18, 2026, indicating current legal roadworthiness. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with the braking system. The tester flagged front brake pads and linings as wearing thin in three consecutive annual tests across 2024, 2025, and 2026. While the vehicle has avoided failure, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests a lack of proactive replacement of consumable components despite the low annual mileage. At eight years old, the vehicle has recorded 39,550 miles, averaging approximately 4,944 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the national average, which often indicates lighter use but also potentially accelerated degradation of rubber components due to stationary periods. The record shows a consistent annual testing interval since 2022, but the 2023 test highlighted multiple issues regarding tyre condition, with four separate tyres noted as being worn close to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing, cracking, and damage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the front braking system to determine if the pads are nearing immediate failure or if the calipers are sticking. The 2023 report regarding tyre perishing and cracking necessitates a thorough check of all sidewalls for dry rot, which is common on low-mile vehicles. Additionally, the defective nearside front wiper blade noted in the 2026 test should be replaced to ensure adequate visibility. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
