2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar S D MHEV A
CarHunch analysed 120 real MOT records for the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar S D MHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Range Rover Velar diesel is more reliable than most, with an 88.3% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80%, and only 4.2% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a low figure that suggests no systemic safety concern. At 33,913 miles median (35,580 average), these cars show typical wear for their age, which supports the strong pass rate as genuine rather than due to low usage.
The average of 0.33 failures per vehicle indicates most pass without issues, though 1.9 advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear items and maintenance needs are common—typical for a premium diesel SUV. If you're buying one, factor in routine servicing costs and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel particulate filter and suspension components, as these drive many advisory records on this model.
What to check before buying a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar S D MHEV A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
