R Rover Velar Rdyn Hse Dmhev A: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 1,536 MOT tests, the R Rover Velar Rdyn Hse Dmhev A returns 91.5% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is wipers that don't clear the screen. Windscreen damage and a defective wiper blade round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 27,851, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Buying or keeping a R Rover Velar Rdyn Hse Dmhev A?

Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.

If you own a R Rover Velar Rdyn Hse Dmhev A and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
