2007 JAGUAR XKR4.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance history, as confirmed by the most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 93,023 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. This follows four consecutive annual MOTs from 2021 to 2024, all passed without any recorded issues, indicating consistent mechanical care and reliable performance over the past five years. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests that the car has been well-maintained and shows no signs of deteriorating condition. The mileage accumulation reflects a low annual usage pattern—approximately 4,896 miles per year—consistent with a vehicle that has seen light use over its 19-year lifespan. The progression from 89,206 miles in September 2021 to 93,023 miles in September 2025 spans exactly four years and 3,817 miles, averaging just under 955 miles per year in the last cycle. This represents a significant drop from earlier years, where the car gained roughly 1,000–1,200 miles annually between 2021 and 2023. The extended gap between 2023 and 2024 (a full year with no test) may suggest a period of reduced activity, possibly due to seasonal storage or infrequent use, which could affect fluid stability and rubber component integrity. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and control arm bushes, which are known wear points on the XKR platform. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers and uneven disc wear, especially since the rear brakes were flagged in prior tests on similar models. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the manifold and catalytic converter, as these areas are prone to rust in older Jaguars. A close examination of the body structure, including sills, door bottoms, and floor pans, is recommended to rule out hidden structural damage or water intrusion, which can compromise long-term reliability despite a clean MOT history.
