2011 JAGUAR XKR5.0L Petrol

The Jaguar XKR presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 96,632 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with three consecutive annual passes across 2024 to 2026 and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The owner has kept the vehicle to a clean test standard for the full recorded period. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 15-year-old performance car. The record shows 91,092 miles at the 4 March 2024 test, rising to 94,770 miles by 24 March 2025 and 96,632 miles by 20 March 2026. That equates to roughly 2,500 to 2,800 miles per year, well below the 6,442 annual average implied by the total. Low use of this nature often means long standing periods, which can allow suspension bushes, brake calipers, and underbody corrosion to develop unseen issues despite a clear MOT sheet. Two failed tests appear in the history, both on 24 March 2025 and 20 March 2026, yet each was followed by a pass on the same day with identical mileage and no defects listed. This pattern points to administrative or documentation failures at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm no suppressed defects exist. In person, the buyer should inspect the suspension for perished bushes or weak coil springs, check brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and examine structural members and sills for corrosion. The XKR's 5.0 V8 drivetrain should be run up to temperature to confirm no coolant or oil leaks. The clean record supports a well-kept example, but low mileage demands a hands-on check of consumables and rot-prone areas.
