Our Verdict
This 2018 white Land Rover Range Rover Velar petrol is a reasonable buy for a used luxury SUV, provided the braking system is checked carefully. The MOT history shows mostly minor advisories and one tyre-related failure, but recent tests have been clean with sensible mileage for its age.
Before purchasing M121ABA, request the full service history to confirm the brake discs and pads noted as worn in 2023 and 2024 have been replaced, as the 2024 MOT still listed all four corners with thin pads and pitted discs. Use the recorded advisories to negotiate, as a set of front and rear brakes on a Velar is not inexpensive. Given the 2023 failure for a rear tyre below 1.6mm, verify the current tyres are premium and evenly worn.
The 1997cc petrol engine in this Velar will return modest economy for a luxury SUV, typically in the low 30s mpg, with road tax likely in a higher band due to CO2 output for a 2018 petrol. Insurance group will be elevated given the Land Rover badge and SUV classification, so obtain a quote before committing. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is around £1,400-£1,800, with brake servicing a notable contributor based on the MOT pattern.
The MOT history shows repeated brake disc scoring and pad wear across all four wheels in 2023 and 2024, so physically inspect the current discs and pads for grooves or thin material even though the 2025 test recorded no defects. Check the front wiper blades that were defective in 2024 have been renewed, and confirm the rear tyre that caused the 2023 failure has been replaced with correct specification. As no model aggregate reliability data is available, a general inspection of the white bodywork for parking damage and the cabin electronics is advised given Velar complexity.
The vehicle has covered 50,700 miles as of its November 2025 MOT, which is moderate for a 2018-registered car. Its history includes one failure in March 2023 for tyre tread and brake wear, followed by a pass two days later and consistently clean tests since 2024. The 2.0-litre petrol engine and white exterior are typical for the Velar, with no major structural or emissions issues recorded in the data.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of M121ABA.
