2016 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · M12 XJL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent MOT on July 16, 2026 at 77,706 miles. This follows a three-year trend of no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard. While the car suffered a failure in 2023 due to a low headlamp aim, this was a minor adjustment issue that did not indicate mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between September 2018 and November 2019, where the car covered over 28,000 miles in just fourteen months. Since then, usage has remained steady, with only 269 miles recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, which generally benefits the longevity of complex Jaguar drivetrain components and electronic systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, given the recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2019. The records from March 2019 and November 2019 flagged multiple sets of tyres reaching legal limits, which often points to worn control arm bushes or incorrect tracking settings. While the recent tests show no such issues, a physical check for uneven tyre scrub-off is necessary to ensure these alignment faults have not returned. The absence of any structural corrosion or brake advisories in the history suggests the chassis and braking system remain in good condition.
