Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in September 2025 at 149,116 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of mechanical neglect in late 2024. While the car failed its test in September 2024 due to multiple braking and exhaust issues, the subsequent pass in October of that year indicates that the owner addressed the primary safety defects identified by the tester. At 149,116 miles over 34 years, the Jaguar reflects a very low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant lack of use between September 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered only 375 miles in twelve months. This pattern of long periods often correlates with the issues seen in the 2024 records, such as binding calipers and corroded brake pipes, as components tend to seize or degrade when the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system and suspension components. The 2024 tests flagged binding brakes on three different wheels and a corroded offside rear brake pipe, suggesting the hydraulic system or sliders are prone to seizing. Furthermore, the 2022 record noted a damaged steering rack gaiter and play in the nearside front upper arm ball joint. A buyer should verify that these steering and suspension elements have been replaced and check for structural corrosion on the chassis, which is a common failure point for vehicles of this era regardless of low mileage.
