Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Land Rover R Rover Velar R Dyn Hse PHEV A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

This 2021 Range Rover Velar PHEV is more reliable than average, with an 86.5% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%, and only 2.4% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below concern threshold. The hybrid-electric powertrain shows no weakness, maintaining that same 86.4% pass rate across the small sample.

At just under 30,000 miles median, these vehicles are running low for their age, which partly explains the strong results; the real test will come as mileage climbs. The 0.27 average failures per vehicle is genuinely low, though advisories average 1.1 per test, suggesting minor wear items crop up but serious problems remain rare—if you're buying one, focus your pre-purchase inspection on the battery conditioning system and electrical harnesses, as these are the parts most likely to need attention down the line.
