2010 Jaguar XKR 5.0L Petrol · PU02 JAG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in suspension component health. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 102,593 miles passed, the tester flagged all four suspension arm pins or bushes as worn. This represents a progression from 2023 and 2024 where only the rear bushes were noted, indicating that the rubber components in the suspension assembly are now reaching the end of their functional life across the board. The mileage pattern is consistent with a lightly used sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The record shows steady annual usage with intervals of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 miles between tests, such as the 5,523 miles covered between the October/2024 November tests. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the low mileage does not prevent age-related perish of rubber parts seen in the advisories. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody, as various components were noted as corroded in both 2024 and 2025. While corrosion has not yet caused a failure, the persistent mention of rust suggests a need to monitor structural integrity over time. The recurring wear on all four suspension arm bushes means a comprehensive replacement is likely imminent to prevent handling issues or excessive noise. Additionally, the offside rear tyre was at the legal limit in the latest test, requiring an immediate check of the remaining tread depth and wear patterns.
