2007 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · JAG 122L

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 8 July 2025 at 47,315 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This stable trend suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in grand tourers of age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 43,220 miles and July 2025 at 47,315 miles, the car covered only 4,095 miles over four years. While low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses can pose specific risks. Extended periods of standing often lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, and the degradation of fluid-based components that rely on regular movement. Despite the lack of recorded MOT faults, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage storage. Priority attention should be paid to the suspension bushings and coil springs, which can become brittle and crack without regular use. The braking system should be checked for corrosion on the discs and binding calipers, as the MOT does not always catch minor surface rust. Additionally, the age of the tyres should be verified against the tread depth, as rubber hardens over time regardless of the miles driven.
