Across 29,457 MOT tests of the Land Rover Range Rover Velar in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 15.4% failed — about 1 in 6. The parts that fail most are wipers, windscreen and mirrors (4.8% of tests), tyres (4.4%), brakes (2.7%), lights and electrics (2.6%) and exhaust, fuel and emissions (1.4%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar has about as many MOT failures as the average car of the same age and mileage.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
