1974 JAGUAR E-TYPE5.3L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1974 Jaguar E-Type was conducted on 2020-07-27, with 49,547 miles recorded. At that time, a minor defect was noted: slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, classified under 5.3.4 (a) (i). No other defects were recorded in this test, and the vehicle passed. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since 2020, meaning no recent assessment of its condition exists. This gap raises concerns about potential unrecorded issues, particularly given the car’s age and low mileage. The MOT history shows a generally clean record prior to 2020, with no defects reported in tests from 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2012. A minor parking brake lever issue (3.1.6b) was noted in 2015, but this was not repeated in later tests. The only recurring mechanical concern is the suspension ball joint play, which has not been addressed in subsequent inspections. This suggests either a persistent issue or a lack of follow-up maintenance. The absence of recent MOT data makes it impossible to determine if this defect has worsened or if new issues have emerged.
