2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · LT67 SWO

The Range Rover Velar has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no defects recorded across all five tests. The most recent test on January 5, 2026, was notably unusual—it resulted in two consecutive passes and fails at the same mileage (77,348), though no technical issues were logged. This suggests the vehicle has not encountered any recurring or critical failures during its most recent inspections, though the duplicate entry warrants confirmation of its validity. The absence of advisories or major faults in prior tests indicates consistent compliance with MOT standards, though this does not preclude undocumented wear or deferred maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 8,600 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 8,233 miles between November 2024 and January 2026—a rate that suggests regular driving rather than prolonged neglect. The lack of failed tests or advisories during this period further implies that basic maintenance, such as tyre rotation or fluid checks, has likely been attended to. However, the absence of service records means potential internal wear—such as differential or transmission fluid degradation—cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension, particularly the coil springs and bushes, for signs of uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are often overlooked until failure. The brakes, while never flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage in recent years. Structural integrity is another critical area; inspect the wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and subframe mounts, where moisture retention is common. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through, as this is frequently a silent failure until it affects emissions or structural stability.
