JAGUAR E-TYPE1966 · 4.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT test on May 21st, 2026, resulted in a failure with several significant issues noted. The main risk pattern indicated by this recent failure is related to braking systems and lighting, alongside potential issues with steering components and parking brake functionality. The trend in the MOT history shows a pattern of failures, with the most recent failure highlighting specific mechanical defects that require immediate attention. The mileage of 6,213 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively low annual mileage, which could imply lighter use or extended periods of standing, though this does not rule out wear on specific components. A buyer should immediately inspect the brake systems, particularly the nearside and offside rear service brakes, as they were noted as excessively binding. Secondly, thoroughly check all headlamps, specifically the offside headlamp not working on the dipped beam, and the nearside headlamp aim. Finally, examine the steering rack area for any signs of movement relative to the chassis and check the efficiency of the parking brake.
