Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2025 at 128,711 miles. This test followed a failure three days prior on 23 June 2025, though the record provides no specific defect details for either entry. The lack of advisories across the last several years suggests a vehicle that is kept to a consistent mechanical standard. The mileage is high for a ten year old Jaguar XJ, averaging roughly 12,871 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, increasing by 7,885 miles between January 2022 and March 2023, and further climbing by 10,408 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This level of usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high wear items that the MOT record does not explicitly detail. Given the 128,711 mile odometer reading, check the condition of the air suspension bellows and the integrity of the brake discs for thinning or lip formation. Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion on the subframes, as these are critical structural points for this chassis. Verify the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes and engine oil intervals. While the MOT history is clean of recorded defects, the high mileage makes a manual check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the steering rack essential to ensure no premature wear has occurred.
