1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE4.2L PETROL

The Jaguar E-Type’s most recent MOT was in October 2021, passing with no defects at 50,608 miles. This suggests the car was in good condition at that time, with no immediate safety concerns flagged. The pattern from earlier MOTs shows recurring issues with lighting, battery security, and steering play. The 2015 failure highlighted multiple indicator colour issues, a faulty headlamp, an insecure battery, and play in the steering rack. These were all resolved by 2016, when the car passed with no defects. However, the 2015 failure indicates past neglect or poor maintenance, particularly around electrical systems and steering. The trend appears stable since 2016. There are no defects in the 2017 or 2021 MOTs, suggesting the previous issues were fixed and not recurring. The car has maintained a consistent state of good repair over the last five years. With just 873 miles per year, the mileage is unusually low for a 58-year-old vehicle.
