2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0L Petrol · LN06 BAR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 42,768 miles returned a pass with multiple advisories related to lighting intensity and tyre condition. This contrasts sharply with the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting a recent decline in attention to basic consumable maintenance despite the vehicle passing the overall inspection. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between October 2021 at 11,048 miles and September 2022 at 23,189 miles, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in under a year. Since then, the usage has stabilised at roughly 6-7,000 miles annually. This low-frequency use can lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake-related corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the lighting assembly specifically, as the October 2025 test flagged reduced intensity on both the nearside front position and daytime running lamps. This often indicates failing LED units or moisture ingress rather than a simple bulb failure. The recurring issue of uneven tyre wear, noted in 2022 and again in 2025, suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a physical inspection. Check the rear tyres for further damage and ensure the low-mileage usage has not caused the brake calipers to seize.
