2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0L Diesel · UL02 KAT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 6, 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical oversight. While the car maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test at 58,004 miles revealed multiple defects in the steering and suspension components. The transition from a failure just four days prior to a pass indicates that essential repairs were reactive rather than proactive, specifically necessitated by the MOT test itself. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a notable gap of 13,484 miles between June 2024 and February 2026, which represents a significant increase in usage compared to the previous annual 8,000-mile intervals. This total mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the sudden appearance of suspension faults in the latest test suggests that rubber components and joints are reaching the end of their service life despite the low distance driven. A buyer must physically inspect the front-end geometry, as the record flags recurring issues in the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints. The failure in February 2026 also highlighted excessive play in the offside front track rod end, which suggests the steering linkage requires close attention to ensure vehicle handling remains precise. Furthermore, the advisories regarding all four tyres being worn close to the legal limit or on the edges indicate potential alignment issues or a neglect of basic maintenance that should be addressed to prevent premature tyre wear.
