2004 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L Petrol · 8 WXM

The 2004 Jaguar X-Type presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 March 2026 at 130,561 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 22-year-old vehicle. From the 12 July 2022 test at 121,920 miles to the 26 March 2026 reading of 130,561 miles, the car covered just 8,641 miles across nearly four years, an average of roughly 2,160 miles per year. The records show no gaps or sudden accumulation; each test passed with no advisories, indicating the previous keeper likely used the car lightly and kept it garaged. A clean MOT history with zero advisories across all five entries means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or failing emissions at any stage. That said, a Jaguar of this age and low use still warrants a physical inspection of subframe and sill corrosion, degraded rubber mounts from prolonged standing, and brake disc condition after idle periods. The buyer should confirm service history independently and check for intermittent faults not captured in an annual test. The absence of recorded defects suggests conscientious ownership, but MOT passes alone do not certify mechanical health beyond the test day.
