2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · OB02 ALB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test, conducted in September 2025 at 65,894 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. While a failure occurred in late October 2024 at 59,113 miles, the vehicle passed retest just five days later, suggesting a minor issue quickly rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the September 2022 test at 41,353 miles and the March 2024 test at 51,324 miles, where the car covered 10,000 miles in 17 months. Since then, the usage has remained steady, covering over 14,000 miles in the last eighteen months. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of drivetrain components compared to cars left stationary. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the air suspension components and bushings, as these are common points of wear on Range Rover models of this age. Although the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for corrosion or brake wear, the lack of recorded minor faults often means issues are only addressed before tests. Given the brief failure in 2024, verifying the current state of the brake pads and exhaust system would be prudent to ensure the previous failure was not a symptom of a developing component failure.
