2012 JAGUAR XK5.0L Petrol

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 75 845 miles after a minor tyre‑fitting defect was corrected, giving an overall roadworthiness status of compliant. The maintenance trend shows recurring faults that have been progressively addressed; earlier failures in 2025 and 2024 (brake pipe corrosion, suspension wear, coil‑spring fracture) have been remedied, indicating an improving pattern despite the low‑mileage profile. Mileage accumulation is steady at roughly 5 418 miles per year, which is low for a 2012 model. Annual MOT entries are recorded, with mileage increments ranging from 2 000 to 4 000 miles each year, reflecting consistent but light use. The record is not sparse, and there are no sudden mileage spikes that would suggest abnormal wear. A buyer should inspect the tyre mounting for sidewall compliance, check rear tyre tread depth against the legal limit, and verify that front tyres are not damaged. Brake system scrutiny includes examining front brake discs for pitting, inspecting rear brake pipes for corrosion and grease contamination, and confirming that the offside front coil spring is intact. Suspension components require close attention: rear lower suspension arm bushes should be free of excessive wear, the anti‑roll bar dust cover must be intact, and the coil spring should show no fractures. While structural rust is not evident in the MOT notes, a thorough under‑body check is advisable to confirm the absence of corrosion.
