JAGUAR XK2006 · 4.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 2 April 2026 at 64,265 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both March 2025 and April 2026, the car failed the test only to pass moments later with identical mileage. This suggests that minor rectifyable defects, such as bulbs or minor adjustments, are addressed promptly by the owner rather than deep-seated mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 1,817 miles, while the subsequent year saw just 1,514 miles recorded between the two April tests. This low usage rate typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the corrosion of fluid surfaces, which are not always reflected in the mileage figure alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components. Given the low mileage and age, rubber bushes and coil springs may suffer from perish or cracking regardless of distance driven. The brakes should also be checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, which frequently occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural integrity issues, a close look at the underbody is necessary to ensure that surface rust has not compromised the chassis over the two-decade life.
