JAGUAR XJ SUPERSPORT S/C AUTO2013 · 5.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 20 February 2025 at 118,379 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. A recent failure just five days prior to that pass revealed multiple critical safety and electronic deplets, including ABS and electronic stability control faults, alongside immediate tyre failures with exposed cords. While these specific issues were rectified to secure the certificate, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure. At 118,379 miles over thirteen years, the XJ has averaged approximately 9,100 miles per year, which aligns with typical long-range usage for a luxury saloon of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 6,000 miles between February 2024 and early 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is not sitting stationary for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of seals and rubber components. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring failures. The February 2023 test flagged a fractured offside front coil spring and deteriorated rear anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, indicating wear on the lower chassis components. Furthermore, the 2023 record also noted pitted front brake discs and thin rear pads, suggesting the braking system is operated until near its service limits. Most importantly, the ABS and stability control faults from February 2025 require a diagnostic check to ensure the sensors or modules have been properly repaired, as these electronic faults can be costly to rectify on this Jaguar platform.
