2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · KM20 OTP

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, yet the MOT history reveals a persistent trend of poor tyre maintenance. The most recent test on July 30, 2025, at 33,917 miles, flagged rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both the offside and nearside. This mirrors an advisory from the August 2024 test at 28,298 miles, where the central rear tyre also showed significant wear. At 33,917 miles over six years, this Velar averages approximately 5,653 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a luxury SUV. The data gap between August 2024 and July 2025 shows an addition of only 5,619 miles, indicating consistent low-usage patterns. While low mileage generally preserves heavy-duty drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to flat-spotted tyres and degradation of rubber-based suspension components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear geometry and suspension assembly. The recurring reports of uneven wear on the rear tyres suggest a lingering alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed despite two consecutive advisories. You should also check the brake calipers for binding or seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from disc corrosion. Given the low mileage, verify the structural integrity of the tyres for sidew cracking, as age-related rubber hardening often precedes tread depth issues.
