It "sounds" like your exhaust was blocked and the pressure built enough to split the welds on the cat and dpf........something I've not come across in 55 years of being a mechanic............as to who or what blocked it ...........
Had a bm x1 at the garage last year and the dpf was completely blocked. The engine would only run for only three seconds at a time unless you undid the differential sensor then it would do 5 seconds. Going on the quality of some parts made now I would look at the dpf filter being somewhat sub quality combined with being completely blocked.... An unfortunate accident caused by someone trying to help with a hopefully recognized product meant to do this job. But a dpf blowing its welds πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

That sounds more like the driver ignoring dash warning messages and only doing short, low temperature drive cycles... We do get a lot of vehicles coming in for service with warning lights on the dash, most seem oblivious - even if it's still in warranty.
I'm having a hard time understanding 'blown welds', the back pressure (as in your case) would cause the engine to stall well before there was enough pressure to split open stainless steel.

Like you wouldn't believe lad..🀣 Two quotes,
Is it important ?
Does it matter if I drive it like that? πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
 
Nope, I rang Land Rover yesterday and it hasn’t even been looked at yet. They said it’s in a queue πŸ˜”
You need to find a good independent lr garage. The dealers are glorified kwikfitters that only do 4yr or younger lrs...
Most of the learning of the real problems that come into play are from those who deal with the older vehicles out of warranty... Sorry if I upset the guys that work in that environment... I only speak from limited experience 🀬

The problem I had is that the local garages in my town didn’t really know where to start with it. They all recommended Land Rover main dealer as they work on them every day. It’s a Velar so not an old style Land Rover. The same engine in mine is still in the brand new model.
Will update once they’ve looked into it.
Thanks
