1998 JAGUAR XJR4.0L Petrol

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2026-04-10 at 16,151 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or advisories were noted across the period, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The absence of critical failures in brakes, suspension, or emissions aligns with the low mileage and regular testing schedule. The mileage of 16,151 miles over 28 years equates to approximately 577 miles annually, reflecting minimal usage. MOT records show incremental increases of 1–11 miles between tests, with no significant jumps, implying the vehicle has remained in consistent, light service. The 2023-05-05 test at 16,110 miles and subsequent 2024-04-05 test at 16,144 miles reveal a 34-mile gain over 11 months, further supporting the pattern of infrequent operation. This low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which could affect fluid systems and rubber components despite the clean MOT history. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension, focusing on aged bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular use. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as prolonged standing can lead to seized components. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny, as rust can develop in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. While the MOT records show no issues, these areas require physical verification to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented tests.
