JAGUAR XF2013 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 10, 2026, at 103,102 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test recorded no defects, it failed just one mile prior due to multiple suspension-related failures including ball joint dust covers and a headlamp alignment issue. This sequence suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than replacing worn rubber seals during annual service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 86,235 miles and June 2026 at 103,102 miles, the car covered 16,867 miles, indicating a recent period of higher usage. The gap between 2023 and 2024 tests shows a lower accumulation of roughly 6,000 miles, which aligns with the degradation of rubber components and tyres noted in the subsequent records. A buyer should closely inspect the front and rear suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar linkages. The repeated failures regarding uneven tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 indicate a potential long-term alignment issue or worn bushings that have not been properly rectified. Given the 2026 failure of multiple ball joint covers, it is essential to verify that the actual joints and linkages were replaced rather than merely adjusted, as the ingress of dirt leads to premature mechanical failure of the steering and handling components.
