JAGUAR XJR1995 · 4.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 106,322 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in July 2025. During that failure, the engine struggled with emission standards, specifically regarding high carbon monoxide levels and lambda readings, alongside a leaking power steering hose. The subsequent pass just six weeks later indicates these specific mechanical issues were addressed immediately, suggesting a level of proactive maintenance when testing failures. At 31 years old, the recorded mileage of 106,322 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 3,430 miles per year. The data shows very consistent intervals between 2022 and 2025, with only 1,536 miles covered over that three-year period. This low mileage often suggests the vehicle is used for occasionally or kept sparingly, but it also increases the risk of degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids that do not remain lubricated through regular use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear axle and braking system, as the 2022 test flagged play in both the nearside and offside rear wheel bearings. While these were not mentioned in later tests, the presence of corroded brake pipes covered in wax oil in that same year indicates a previous attempt to mask structural rust. You should verify the current integrity of all brake lines and ensure the corrosion has not progressed beneath the coating. Given the 2025 emission failure, a diagnostic check of the oxygen sensors and fuel system is advisable to ensure the engine remains tuned efficiently without excessive fuel consumption.
