MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

14 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Jaguar X-Type (FE53 HDO) between September 2006 and April 2016.

The record contains 10 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 05 April 2016 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (23 issues), Tyres (13 issues), Suspension (5 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 33 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded outer sill (2.4.A.3)”; “Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded outer sill (2.4.A.3)”; “Offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)”.
