JAGUAR X-TYPE SE2007 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on December 10, 2024 at 136,450 miles. While the history shows two instances of failure, the most recent test recorded no defects, indicating that any previous issues were addressed and the vehicle was rectified. The maintenance trend suggests that while the car fails intermittently, the owner has been proactive in rectifying faults to achieve a passing result in the two most recent testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between November 2021 and May 2023, during which period the car covered only 1,427 miles. Conversely, the vehicle covered 1,721 miles in the seven months between the May 2023 test and November 2024 failure. This suggests periods of low usage followed by more active phases, which can sometimes lead to perished rubber components, seized seals, or brake corrosion despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower chassis and suspension mounting points, as the X-Type is prone to structural corrosion at this age. Given the failures in November 2021 and November 2024 occurred without specific defects listed in the summary provided, the tester likely flagged minor items like lighting bulbs or emissions irregularities that required immediate attention. Inspect the brake calipers for binding and check the control arm bushes for cracking as the low-mileage profile often masks degradation of rubber parts rather than mechanical wear.
