2008 Jaguar XF 2.7L Diesel · R25 BBK

The Jaguar XF presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 29 February 2024 at 131,360 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The February 2024 pass came one day after a 28 February 2024 failure at 131,314 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event. A near-identical pattern occurred on 9 February 2023, when the car failed and passed on the same day at 120,612 miles with no faults recorded. These paired fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or corrosion, brake, suspension, or emissions issues appear anywhere in the history. The recorded mileage shows typical use for an 18-year-old vehicle. The car covered 111,887 miles at the 11 February 2022 test, rose to 120,612 miles by 9 February 2023, and reached 131,360 miles by 29 February 2024. That equates to roughly 8,700 miles per year between 2022 and 2024, close to the 7,298-mile annual average across its life. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps exist in the supplied data, and the clean test outcomes across five entries indicate the previous keeper maintained basic statutory test compliance, though the absence of advisories means wear on consumables and structural items went unlogged by testers. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 131,360-mile use, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component condition. The XF's aluminium-intensive structure resists rot better than steel bodies, but sill and subframe mounting points warrant physical checks for corrosion. The twin fail-pass sequences in February 2023 and February 2024 deserve clarification with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defects exist in the record.
