2013 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · CH57 AJH

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend characterized by an increase in mechanical and consumable failures during the most recent testing period. While the 2026-06-03 pass indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the failure just two days prior on 2026-06-01 highlights significant recent degradation. The tester flagged an excessively worn prop shaft bearing and corrosion on both rear brake hose ferrules, alongside multiple tyre defects. These recent issues suggest that components which were previously noted as minor advisories have now reached a point of mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 43,767 miles in 2016 to the current 97,822 miles in 2026. This pattern indicates regular, predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation. The absence of significant mileage gaps suggests the car has been in active service throughout its thirteen-year lifespan, which typically correlates with more consistent wear on suspension and drivetrain components. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the drivetrain and braking system. The prop shaft bearing failure in June 2026 follows a history of suspension component wear, such as the split lower arm bush noted in the June 2025 test. Recurring advisories regarding brake hose corrosion since 2021 suggest a persistent issue with moisture ingress or environmental degradation in the braking lines. You must verify that the recent repairs to the brake hoses and the prop shaft have been completed to a high standard. The tyre condition also requires immediate attention. The June 2026 records show both sidewall perishing and tread wear close to the legal limit on the offside front. This indicates that while the car passed its most recent test, the consumables are at the end of their service life. Inspect the suspension bushes and anti-roll bar linkages during a physical inspection, as these components have shown intermittent signs of wear and failure across several years of testing.
