2015 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · J90 DAA

The current roadworthiness of this Jaguar XE is concerning, as the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred expenditure on essential consumables and structural components. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 82,626 miles, the recurring advisories regarding brake disc condition and the newly noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase where significant remedial work is becoming unavoidable. The MOT is currently valid, but the persistent failure to address braking system degradation suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. The vehicle has covered 82,626 miles over approximately eleven years, averaging a consistent 7,511 miles per annum. This usage profile is typical for a premium saloon, showing no evidence of long-term storage or excessive high-mileage fleet use. The history remained clean until 2022, after which the frequency of advisories increased sharply. The jump from zero recorded defects in 2021 to multiple tyre and brake issues in subsequent years points to a decline in the standard of preventative care as the vehicle aged. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, as the discs have been flagged for pitting and scoring for three consecutive years. The 2023 failure due to a fractured coil spring, combined with the recurring tyre wear issues on the inner edges, suggests potential alignment or suspension geometry problems that may not have been fully rectified. You should specifically inspect the rear sub-frame for the extent of the reported corrosion, as this is a critical structural component that could lead to significant repair costs in future tests. Given the history of inner-edge tyre wear, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and tracking, as these are likely contributing to the uneven tyre degradation noted across multiple test cycles.
