2020 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · MA70 WSE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status based on the most recent test, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. On 19 December 2022 at 28,683 miles, the vehicle passed the inspection despite several advisories regarding the braking system. The tester flagged worn front and rear brake discs alongside thinning rear brake pads, suggesting that the braking components were reaching the end of their service life at that point in time. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,780 miles per year. This low usage often implies less mechanical wear on drivetrain components, but it can lead to issues with rubber degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. There is a significant data gap between the 2022 test and the current date of June 2026, meaning the current state of the mechanical and structural integrity remains unverified by official records for the last three and a half years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the issues identified in 2022 have been addressed. Given the previous advisories for thin pads and worn discs, it is essential to check for caliper seizing or uneven pad wear which often occurs on low-use vehicles. The inspection should also include the suspension bushings for signs of cracking and the undercarriage for corrosion, as low mileage does not protect against age-related deterioration of rubber components or environmental rust.
