JAGUAR XF2014 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred mechanical component replacement. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 132,380 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to multiple safety-related issues. The persistence of the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint play, which appeared in August 2024 and remained through 2025, indicates that the previous owner was only addressing faults upon failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 132,380 miles over twelve years, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 11,000 miles per annum. This figure aligns closely with typical national averages for a premium executive saloon. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 11,000 miles covered in the year leading up to the most recent test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the high mileage places significant stress on complex suspension components and braking systems. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 test identified a binding offside rear service brake alongside thin pads, which often suggests a seized caliper piston or worn sliders that requires attention to prevent uneven wear. The recurring advisory regarding the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that other rubber bushings and joints may be nearing the end of their functional life. You should also verify the condition of the windscreen wipers and glass, as the failure indicated poor clearance which is a critical safety concern for a vehicle of this age.
