2011 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · OS61 DHU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural and suspensionrelated degradation. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 117,095 miles passed, the inspector identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame and rear suspension components. Although these issues were noted as not seriously weakened, the persistence of these faults across multiple years suggests that the vehicle's chassis is subject to ongoing environmental corrosion that has not been remediated. At 117,095 miles, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old executive. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,000 miles between July 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though the age of the vehicle means rubber and metal components are reaching fatigue limits despite the modest annual mileage. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and suspension mounting points to determine the depth of the reported corrosion. The history shows recurring issues with the front coil springs, which were noted as corroded in 2022 and caused a failure in 2024. Furthermore, the lightinging on the nearside front shock absorber noted in 2024 should be monitored for active oil leaks. The previous failure of the supplementary restraint system warning lamp to illuminate in 2024 also requires verification that the artwork and SRS system are fully functional, as this is a critical safety-related item.
