JAGUAR XJ2016 · 3.0L DIESEL

The current roadworthiness status of this Jaguar XJ is excellent, as evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 27 March 2026 at 33,996 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement, shifting from a history of recurring tyre and suspension advisories to a fault-free record over the last two annual inspections. This indicates that the previous owner addressed the underlying issues, resulting in a vehicle that is currently in a stable and compliant mechanical state. The vehicle has covered 33,996 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent throughout the record, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic usage patterns. The steady, incremental increase in mileage between the 2022 and 2026 tests suggests the car has been used regularly for short trips rather than left standing, which helps mitigate the risks of fluid degradation and seized components often associated with long-term storage. Despite the recent clean MOTs, the historical record highlights a recurring pattern of tyre damage and uneven wear, specifically on the inner edges. This often points to past issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry settings common in heavy executive saloons. While the suspension arm bushes flagged in March 2024 appear to have been rectified, a prospective buyer should still physically inspect the front suspension control arms and the inner treads of the current tyres for any signs of premature or uneven scrubbing. Ensuring the air suspension system functions correctly across all ride heights is also advisable, as these components are prone to age-related wear regardless of the low odometer reading.
