2014 JAGUAR XK5.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 showed the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at 24,078 miles. This suggests the car has maintained a clean MOT record in its final year before the current date of 2026-06-02. However, a significant failure in 2018-05-25 revealed multiple tyre-related issues, including nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to legal limits and front inner tyres with exposed ply or cords. These defects were classified under specific MOT regulations (5.2.3 (d) (ii) and 5.2.3 (e)), indicating critical wear that required immediate attention. The 2018 failure appears isolated, as subsequent MOTs from 2018-05-29, 2023, 2024, and 2025 show no further defects. This suggests the vehicle’s condition has remained stable since the 2018 repair. However, the 2018 issues highlight a potential risk of tyre degradation, which could be linked to low mileage or infrequent use. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 24,078 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 2,006 miles per year, which is below average for its age. This low mileage may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension due to lack of use or improper storage. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults, the 2018 tyre failure underscores the importance of inspecting tyre condition, particularly the inner edges and tread depth.
