2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · OY69 XRN

The vehicle presents an improving roadworthiness trend following a significant period of neglect in late 2024. While the December 2025 test at 55,350 miles resulted in a pass, this follows a failed inspection on 20 December 2024 at 42,753 miles. That failure highlighted a total disregard for consumable maintenance, specifically regarding all four tyres and the braking system. The transition from a multi-defect failure to a clean pass in the most recent test suggests that the necessary repairs and replacements were carried out to rectify those specific issues. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The car has covered approximately 29,386 miles since the January 2023 test at 25,964 miles, averaging roughly 14,000 miles per year over that period. This is a slight increase from the overall lifetime average of 7,907 miles per year, but it remains within reasonable parameters for a premium SUV. The data shows no evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that might suggest heavy commercial use or odometer tampering. A prospective buyer must scrutinise the braking system and wheel integrity during a physical inspection. The 2024 records show a pattern of corrosion on the front and rear brake discs, alongside thin rear brake pads. Although the December 2025 test passed, the history of pitting and scoring noted in January 2024 indicates the braking components are prone to surface degradation. You should check for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Furthermore, the January 2024 test flagged distorted inner road wheels on both the offside front and offside rear, so a thorough examination of the alloy wheel rims for cracks or bends is essential. The repeated tyre failures in late 2024, including sidewall damage and cuts reaching the cords, suggest a previous owner who deferred basic maintenance. While the tyres were presumably replaced to pass the subsequent test, you should verify the current tread depth and check for any uneven wear patterns that might indicate underlying suspension or alignment issues. Given the vehicle's weight and the history of wheel distortion, inspecting the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms would be a prudent step to ensure the vehicle's handling remains stable.
