2007 JAGUAR XKR4.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 31 December 2025 at 80,424 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any flagged issues across the previous four recorded inspections, suggesting a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,233 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 66,260 miles in March 2021 to 80,424 miles by the end of 2025. While the low annual mileage indicates light usage, the significant gap between the March 2023 test and the February 2025 test suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods. Such periods of inactivity can lead to issues with fluid degradation, perished rubber components, and battery health. Because the MOT record is entirely free of advisories, there is no evidence of ongoing issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. However, the low mileage and potential for long periods of standing mean a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of all consumables. I recommend checking for perished timing belts, dry-rotted tyre sidewalls, and any signs of corrosion on the underbody or brake lines that may not have triggered an MOT failure. The absence of historical failures suggests the previous owners maintained the car well, but the low usage profile requires a close look at the service history to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes were performed regardless of mileage. Focus specifically on the condition of the suspension bushings and the integrity of the various rubber seals and hoses, which often deteriorate due to age and lack of movement rather than wear from driving.
