1 POR MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Jaguar Xj (1 POR) between January 2007 and December 2025.
The record contains 20 passes and 4 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Brakes (7 issues), Suspension (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Windscreen (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
