2017 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · SF02 AAA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding specific components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 76,174 miles passed, the offside rear coil spring remained noted as corroded. This specific issue was flagged as an advisory in February 2025 at 70,068 miles and had caused a failure just days prior. The persistence of this corrosion suggests the owner is monitoring the component rather than replacing it proactively before structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2023 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since then, the usage has stabilized, with 6,106 miles recorded between the February 2025 and January 2026 tests. This rate indicates regular use, which places predictable wear on the Range Rover's complex suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, as the recurring corrosion on the offside coil spring indicates a vulnerability to environmental damage or age. The failure in December 2023 for three tyres being below legal tread depth and thin brake pads points to a period where consumable items were only addressed once they reached failure limits. Furthermore, the February 2025 failure regarding an inoperative malfunction indication lamp (MIL) requires a diagnostic check to ensure no hidden engine or emission faults remain present that the MOT tester did not detect.
