2007 Jaguar S-Type 2.7L Diesel · L222 ACM

The Jaguar S-Type displays a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test on 23 February 2024 at 110,251 miles confirms the vehicle is currently compliant with DVSA standards. This lack of recorded faults over the past three years suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance, indicating that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition by its previous owner. The recorded mileage of 110,251 over a nineteen-year lifespan averages approximately 5,800 miles per annum, which is notably low for a luxury saloon of this era. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with the vehicle covering roughly 3,360 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests and 2,841 miles in the preceding period. This steady, low-intensity usage pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to the heavy stop-start wear often associated with high-mileage commuters, though it does raise the possibility of the vehicle spending extended periods in storage. While the MOT history is clean, a physical inspection must focus on components that deteriorate due to age rather than just active use. You should prioritize a thorough check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and rubber gaiters, as these components often perish on low-mileage Jaguars regardless of how few miles they have covered. Inspect the underside of the chassis and the sills for signs of structural corrosion, as the S-Type is susceptible to rust in these areas. Finally, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on the friction surfaces due to infrequent use, which can lead to binding calipers or uneven braking performance.
