Is the Range Rover Velar disappearing?

49,032 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Range Rover Velar is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 58% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 1,523 are declared SORN — 1 in 33 of the 50,555 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Land Rover Range Rover Velar first appears in the published DfT series in 2017 Q2. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Range Rover Velar MOT pass rate

In 2024, 83.9% of 24,073 Land Rover Range Rover Velar MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 84.4% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 83.4% aged 6–9 years.

• Condition — 3% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Wipers — 3% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
• Mechanical Brake Components — 2.7% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
• Exhaust Emissions — 2% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
