2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar HSE Phev A 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · VO22 TYD

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar HSE PHEV was conducted on 26 September 2025, resulting in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded against the vehicle. The immediately preceding test on 11 February 2025 also returned a pass with no defects. The absence of any advisory notes, which would typically flag items such as tyre wear approaching the legal limit, minor fluid leaks, early-stage brake component wear, or corrosion, suggests that the vehicle was in sound mechanical condition at the time of both examinations. With two consecutive passes and no deteriorating pattern, the recorded maintenance trend appears stable and consistent, indicating that the previous keeper has likely maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard. That said, an MOT certificate is a snapshot pass/fail assessment rather than a comprehensive mechanical inspection, so additional buyer-side scrutiny remains essential. The recorded mileage of 41,367 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual average of around 10,342 miles, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There is no evidence in the MOT history of unusually low usage that might raise concerns about extended standing periods, nor any indication of exceptionally high mileage that would point to accelerated wear on major drivetrain or suspension components. The relatively even spacing of the two MOT tests in 2025 suggests steady, regular use, which is generally beneficial for a plug-in hybrid powertrain as it allows the battery management system to function normally and prevents the petrol engine from suffering the issues associated with infrequent operation, such as oil degradation, moisture accumulation, and fuel system varnish. Given the clean MOT history, prospective buyer inspection should focus on age and usage-related items that fall outside the scope of the standard MOT test but are nonetheless critical on a vehicle of this profile. The tyres should be examined closely for sidewall perishing and cracking, which can occur due to UV exposure and age even when the tread depth remains within legal limits; Land Rover specification tyres on a Velar of this size are relatively expensive to replace as a full set, so budgeting for this should be considered. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers the vehicle's control electronics and is separate from the high-voltage hybrid traction battery, is a known weak point on vehicles that sit for prolonged periods and should be load-tested prior to purchase. Brake discs on a PHEV can be particularly susceptible to corrosion and surface pitting due to the regenerative braking system reducing the use of the mechanical friction brakes, so a thorough check for binding calipers, uneven disc wear, and any roughness through the steering wheel under light braking is strongly recommended. Finally, the plug-in hybrid powertrain introduces additional service items that warrant specific attention. The high-voltage battery health should ideally be verified through a diagnostic readout showing its current state of charge capacity relative to factory specification, as degradation in this area directly impacts the electric-only driving range. Coolant for the thermal management system, brake fluid, and the petrol engine oil should all be confirmed as within their manufacturer-recommended replacement intervals, as PHEV systems can impose additional thermal cycling on engine oil even when running primarily on electric power. A test drive should be undertaken with the vehicle in both hybrid and electric-only modes to confirm smooth transitions, no warning lights on the instrument cluster, and the absence of any unfamiliar vibrations or driveline shunt. Additionally, given that Range Rover Velar models have experienced some known concerns with suspension bushes and electronic air suspension components at this age, a thorough check for any suspension clunks over speed humps and uneven tyre wear across the axle would be prudent.
