Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on August 8 2025 with 135,602 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following previous failures. While the car failed its tests in the prior years, the clean results in the 2024 and 2025 inspections indicate that the owner has addressed identified issues and that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum standards for road use. The mileage profile is high for a ten-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between the May 2023 test at 109,240 miles and the August 2024 test at 130,342 miles, representing over 21,000 miles driven in just 15 months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent, likely long-distance motorway driving rather than short-distance city use. Such high-mileage typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushings, cooling-related components, and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and lower arms, as the high mileage puts immense stress on these Jaguar components. Given the failures in 2023 and 2024, it is vital to verify that the specific mechanical faults causing those failures were properly rectified rather than merely patched. Pay close attention to the brake system for signs of caliper sticking or uneven pad wear, as the high annual mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of the braking hardware.
