2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · M6 HOY

The most recent MOT conducted on 19 February 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all essential safety and environmental standards. Evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows a stable and improving profile. Although an advisory was issued in February 2024 regarding both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn on the edges, the subsequent clean MOT results in 2025 and 2026 suggest that these issues were addressed through timely replacement and corrective maintenance. The recorded mileage of 69,712 miles for a seven-year-old vehicle equates to an annual average of approximately 9,959 miles. This is considered typical usage for a premium SUV, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly without the excessive wear associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential for component seizure and fluid degradation often seen in very low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for long periods. This consistent usage pattern is generally favourable for the longevity of the drivetrain and complex electronic systems. During your inspection, you should specifically examine the front tyres for any signs of uneven wear or scalloping, which could indicate that the previous alignment issues have not been fully rectified or that suspension bushes and steering components are beginning to fail. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any rhythmic thumping or clunking sounds when navigating uneven road surfaces, as these can be symptoms of worn coil springs, deteriorated anti-roll bar links, or failing suspension bushings. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to verify that time-based maintenance has been carried out alongside mileage-based servicing. Check the service book for evidence of brake fluid and coolant changes, as these are vital for preventing internal corrosion and maintaining hydraulic integrity. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or uneven thickness and check the 12V battery's health. Finally, examine the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur due to age even if the tread depth is within legal limits.
