2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Dynamc HSE A 2.0L Petrol · S88 VCB

The most recent MOT, carried out on 26 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that at the time of testing the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards. With only a single MOT entry available, it is not possible to identify a longer‑term trend, but the clean result suggests that the vehicle has been maintained in a condition that satisfies the DVSA criteria and there are no immediate mechanical concerns evident from the inspection. At three years old the Velar has logged 27,395 miles, which works out to roughly 9,100 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a premium SUV of this age and does not point to either unusually low utilisation (which could hint at prolonged periods of sitting) or excessive mileage that would accelerate wear on consumables. The mileage progression appears steady, implying that the drivetrain, suspension and braking components have been subjected to normal operating loads rather than extreme abuse. Although the MOT record is spotless, a prudent buyer should still conduct a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Examine the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot or bulging, and verify that tread depth meets the legal minimum and is even across the set, as tyres older than three years can degrade even with modest mileage. Check the 12‑volt battery for corrosion on the terminals, confirm a resting voltage above 12.6 V and, if possible, have a load test performed to ensure it will hold charge under the vehicle’s high‑output electrical demands. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing and measure pad thickness; standing for long periods can cause disc corrosion that may lead to uneven pad wear or shudder under braking. Finally, review the service book for evidence of timely oil, filter and coolant changes, as the Velar’s 20 000‑mile service interval is a good benchmark for the next scheduled maintenance. Look for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay, under the chassis and at the rear differential, and verify that the suspension bushings, control arms and coil springs are free of excessive play or creaking when the vehicle is rocked. During a test drive listen for any clunking from the front or rear suspension, note any vibration through the steering wheel that could indicate wheel imbalance or tyre issues, and pay attention to the exhaust note for any irregularities that might suggest a failing catalytic converter or exhaust leak. These checks will give a comprehensive picture of the Velar’s current roadworthiness beyond the MOT pass.
