MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1995 Jaguar Xjs (5 SDC) between October 2005 and August 2026.

The record contains 17 passes and 9 failures.

The most recent test on 11 August 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 9 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (28 issues), Suspension (21 issues), Tyres (18 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (11 issues), Lighting (11 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 72 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Exhaust carbon monoxide content at idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”; “Exhaust hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits (8.2.1.2 (b))”.
