Our Verdict
This 2018 Range Rover Velar presents a s
When inspecting this Velar, verify the service history to corroborate the exceptionally low recorded mileage of 32,578 miles. Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the rear brake pads which were flagged as wearing thin at the November 2025 MOT test at 32,578 miles and previously advised in October 2023. Given the electronic and luxury features typical of this model, test all interior displays, climate control zones, and suspension settings thoroughly before purchase.
As a 1,997cc petrol luxury SUV, running costs will reflect its premium positioning. Fuel economy for this engine variant will be lower than diesel alternatives, particularly on urban cycles. Road tax falls under standard UK VED rates for petrol vehicles registered after April 2017, and insurance will sit in a high group commensurate with the Range Rover badge.
Maintenance should include specialist or main dealer servicing to keep electronic systems updated. Typical annual running costs including fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing are estimated at £2,200 to £2,600, varying heavily with annual mileage and insurance profile.
Inspect the rear brake discs and pads closely, as the November 2025 MOT noted both nearside and offside rear pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), following similar advisories in 2023. Check the tyres for uneven wear patterns, as tyres are among the top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Examine the black exterior paintwork for surface damage or car park dings, and verify the operation of flush-fitting door handles and panoramic sunroof mechanisms if fitted.
First registered in September 2018 and finished in black, this 1,997cc petrol Range Rover Velar has recorded just 32,578 miles over seven years of testing. The MOT record shows five consecutive passes from 2021 through 2025 without a single recorded failure. Advisory notes are minimal, restricted primarily to rear brake pads noted as wearing thin or low in recent tests.
The Range Rover Velar achieves an aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.2% across over 30,000 tested vehicles, performing reasonably well for a luxury SUV, with common failure points typically related to tyres, registration plates, and fluid leaks.
