Our Verdict
This 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar diesel is a reasonable buy for a used premium SUV, with a clean MOT pass record and consistent annual mileage. However, budget for brake and tyre maintenance soon, as the latest test flagged worn rear inner pads and earlier tests showed multiple tyres near the limit.
When viewing this vehicle, ask for a full service history to confirm the 2.0-litre diesel engine has been maintained on schedule, as premium SUVs can be costly to repair if neglected. Use the 2025 MOT advisory on rear inner brake pads wearing thin to negotiate a contribution towards replacement, as pads are a wear item but indicate upcoming cost. Check the 2022 advisories for tyre wear and sidewall damage have been resolved with recent tyres, and confirm the current set has good tread across all four corners.
As a 1999cc diesel registered in December 2018, this Velar will fall into a higher VED band than smaller cars, likely around £190 per year for tax after the first year, plus diesel fuel costs at current UK prices. Insurance groups for the Velar are typically high (around group 40-plus), so expect premiums of £700-£1,200 annually depending on location and driver profile. Routine maintenance such as servicing and tyres for a Land Rover of this size often totals £400-£600 per year outside of major repairs.
The 2025 MOT noted rear inner brake pad(s) wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)) at 54,598 miles, so inspect the rear brakes closely and budget for pad replacement if not already done. The 2022 test showed the Nearside Front tyre with sidewall damage and three tyres worn to 3mm, so verify all tyres are now above 4mm and free from cracking or edge wear. Given no model aggregate data exists, also check general items like suspension bushings and DPF function on this diesel, as these are common wear points on higher-mileage premium 4x4s.
The Velar (registration OP10GEN) has covered 54,598 miles over nearly seven years, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which is moderate for a 2018 diesel SUV. All five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passed with no failures, though minor advisories appeared in 2022 and 2025. The 2.0-litre diesel engine and black exterior are typical for the model, and no aggregate reliability data is available to benchmark against peers.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, so reliability cannot be benchmarked against other models from the provided information.
