2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar D Mhev Auto 2.0L Diesel · X1 FAR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on June 6, 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs. The previous test at 19,245 miles resulted in a failure due to rear brake pads falling below the 1.5mm threshold and pitted or scored brake discs. While the vehicle passed the following day at 19,246 miles, the presence of these faults indicates that components were only addressed upon reaching failure limits rather than through scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,812 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-average examples. However, low-mileage cars often suffer from accelerated corrosion on braking surfaces when stationary. The reported pitting and scoring on the discs at such low mileage is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits for extended periods, allowing moisture to corrode the metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive. The scoring and pitting on both front and rear discs suggest that the hardware may require replacement beyond just the pads to ensure optimal performance. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for signs of seized calipers or flat spots on tyres, which frequently occur when vehicles are not driven regularly enough to keep the components moving.
