2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · KAM 115H

A consistent track record of clean MOT results over the last three years defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, following a period of mechanical interventions in 2021 and 2022. While the most recent test on 13 March 2026 showed no defects, the history reveals a previous failure regarding a split offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot and recurring advisories concerning brake disc corrosion and tyre wear. The transition from these specific component issues to the current defect-free status indicates that the previously flagged mechanical items have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a period of recorded wear into a more stable testing trend. The recorded mileage of 50,513 miles over approximately eight years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,314 miles. This usage profile is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a pattern of moderate, consistent driving rather than heavy motorway use or excessive short-distance urban trips. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage fatigue, consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres will have undergone regular cycles of wear. The steady mileage accumulation supports the reliability of the recent clean MOT certificates, as the vehicle has not undergone the potential issues associated with long periods of stationary use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the drivetrain and braking systems during a physical inspection and test drive, given the historical issues with the drive shaft CV boot and brake disc corrosion. Although the 2022 failure for a split offside front outer CV boot was resolved, it is prudent to listen for any rhythmic clicking or popping sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, which could indicate further wear in the constant velocity joints. Regarding the braking system, the previous advisories for worn and corroded front brake discs suggest that while the current discs may be within limits, the buyer should check for any pedal judder or vibration under braking, which can signal uneven disc wear or surface irregularities. Tyre condition and suspension integrity also warrant specific scrutiny based on the earlier advisories for worn edges and legal limit proximity. During a test drive, the vehicle should be assessed for any pulling to one side or uneven steering feel, which could stem from the tyre wear patterns noted in 2021 and 2022. Additionally, any knocks or clunks felt when traversing uneven road surfaces should be investigated to ensure that the suspension components and drive shaft assembly remain secure and free from the deterioration that led to the 2022 failure.
