Our Verdict
A strong option for those seeking a low-
Focus on verifying the full service history for this 2.0L diesel engine, as consistent maintenance is key for this model. Check for evidence of brake disc replacement following the 2024 advisories regarding pitting and scoring to ensure the braking system is currently optimal. Given the black paintwork, a close inspection for stone chips and swirl marks is recommended.
The 2.0L diesel engine provides a balance of efficiency and performance, but buyers should expect higher insurance groups and road tax compared to smaller SUVs. Maintenance costs for the Velar can be significant, particularly regarding tyres and brake components.
Annual costs will be driven by diesel fuel prices and the premium nature of Land Rover parts and labour. Regular servicing is essential to avoid the more costly failures seen in the wider model population.
Inspect the braking system specifically, as the February 2024 MOT noted that both front and rear discs were worn, pitted, or scored. While the subsequent 2025 and 2026 tests recorded no defects, confirming whether these components were replaced is advisable.
Additionally, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and transmission, as fluid leaks are one of the top failure reasons for the Velar model across aggregate MOT data. Ensure the windscreen washer system is fully operational following the 2024 failure.
This 2018 black Range Rover Velar has covered 55,061 miles, which is below the model average. Its MOT history shows a consistent record, including a clean pass in April 2026 and no defects noted in the previous year. A February 2024 failure was limited to a windscreen washer issue, though brake disc wear was noted as an advisory at that time.
The Range Rover Velar has an average MOT pass rate of 88.2%, with common failure points typically involving tyres and fluid leaks.
