JAGUAR EAGLE PRESTIGE LIMOUSINE D A2019 · 2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-13 showed a PASS with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at 19,561 miles. However, this contrasts with the 2024-09-23 MOT, which recorded a FAIL due to a fractured offside rear coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)) and tyres worn close to legal limits (5.2.3 (e)). A separate 2024-09-23 PASS entry also noted the same tyre wear, suggesting unresolved issues. The main risk pattern involves suspension and tyre maintenance. The fractured coil spring is a critical structural defect requiring immediate repair, while recurring tyre wear near legal limits implies potential alignment, balancing, or suspension problems. No other serious defects were recorded in earlier MOTs, though a 2022-10-17 PASS noted a nail in the offside rear tyre, which was likely addressed before 2024. The trend shows a significant issue in 2024, followed by a clean 2025 MOT. This suggests the coil spring was repaired, but tyre wear persisted, raising questions about underlying mechanical factors. The vehicle’s low mileage ( ~2,794 miles per year) could indicate infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, which might contribute to uneven tyre wear or component stiffness. However, this mileage level generally reduces wear on consumables like brakes and tyres compared to higher-mileage vehicles.
