1966 JAGUAR E-TYPE4.2L PETROL

The 1966 Jaguar E-Type has an exceptionally low recorded mileage of 2,980 miles, with only 20 miles added over 12 years of MOT history. This suggests the vehicle has seen minimal use or has been stored for extended periods, which can lead to issues like fluid degradation, battery drain, or rubber component failure. The MOT history shows no serious defects in recent passes, but a 2012 failure for non-functioning stop lamps (1.2.1b) indicates potential electrical or wiring issues. However, the same day’s MOT record shows a subsequent pass, implying the fault was likely resolved promptly. The most recent MOT on 2014-03-29 was a pass with 2,980 miles, and no defects were recorded. This suggests the vehicle met safety standards at that time. However, the lack of MOT entries after 2014 raises concerns about maintenance continuity. A 12-year gap without testing could mean the car has been driven infrequently or not at all, increasing the risk of hidden deterioration. The low mileage does not necessarily reflect wear from use but may highlight periods of inactivity, which can affect components like the engine, brakes, and suspension. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical patterns beyond the 2012 stop lamp failure.
