2005 Jaguar X-Type 3.0L Petrol · CN04 ALE

The Jaguar X-Type passed its most recent MOT test on January 12, 2026, at 139,054 miles with no defects recorded. This suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no recurring issues flagged in the most recent tests. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no worsening of conditions observed. However, the two failed tests in December 2024 at 137,324 miles raise a minor concern, as no defects were recorded for these failures. This could indicate a potential issue with the test process or a need for closer scrutiny of the vehicle's condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The most recent test was conducted just 630 miles after the previous test in October 2023, showing regular maintenance. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations that would suggest neglect or heavy use. The data is sparse but clean, with only five tests in the past three years, which is less frequent than ideal for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brakes in person. The two failed tests in December 2024 at 137,324 miles, with no defects recorded, warrant a thorough examination of the suspension components, including bushes, coil springs, and struts. Additionally, the brakes should be checked for any signs of wear or binding, as recurring issues in this area could indicate a need for replacement. The vehicle's structural integrity should also be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches. Given the age of the vehicle, it is crucial to ensure that all mechanical components are in good working order and that any minor issues are addressed promptly.
