1965 JAGUAR E-TYPE4.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT test in June 2023 passed with no defects recorded. The MOT history shows a pattern of minor, non-safety-critical issues noted in earlier inspections, specifically concerning the steering wheel and suspension components. The trend in the recorded history does not show a clear worsening or improving pattern, as the vehicle has passed subsequent tests. The mileage of 86,963 miles for a 1965 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing, although this does not rule out wear on specific components. A buyer should immediately inspect the steering wheel for any further cracking or play in the steering rack joints. Crucially, detailed inspection of the front suspension arm ball joints and their dust covers should be performed to check for any signs of deterioration beyond what was noted in 2015. Finally, a thorough check of the braking system components and any signs of wear on the drivetrain should be prioritised during a physical inspection.
