1968 Jaguar 2.4/240 2.5L Petrol · MOW 611F

This Jaguar 2.4/240 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 46,776 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test one week prior on 8 October 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 58 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 806 miles per year. The odometer shows very little movement over the recorded period, increasing by only 361 miles between June 2021 and October 2025. This pattern indicates the car has spent significant time stationary, which often leads to different mechanical risks than high mileage wear. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake binding is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas typically affected by long periods of standing. This includes checking for perished rubber seals, hardened suspension bushings, and potential fuel system varnish. Specific attention must be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as the MOT record does not provide a detailed history of rust prevention. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and verify that the tyres have not developed flat spots or sidewall cracking despite having legal tread. Given the low usage, a full fluid analysis and a check for leaks are recommended to ensure the engine and gearbox remain viable.
