2017 JAGUAR XE2.0L DIESEL

The 2026-04-02 test at 87,443 miles demonstrates that the MOT has been passed, but the pattern of failure indicates an ongoing trend of worsening maintenance. The vehicle failed on the offside front windscreen wiper, which suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped during the previous ownership period, leading to the accumulation of wear on critical components. This recurring failure on the windscreen wiper, combined with a single failed test, implies that the mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly over the past two years, placing the car at risk for future breakdowns. The mileage progression from 84,277 miles in April 2025 to 87,443 miles in April 2026 shows a rapid increase of 3,166 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is characteristic of a vehicle that has been driven for approximately nine years, suggesting that the owner has maintained the car with minimal attention to consumables and potential wear points. The gap between the April 2025 and April 2026 tests highlights a lack of proactive monitoring, as the car has not undergone a MOT within the last two years, allowing wear on the windscreen wiper and suspension to accumulate without repair. In conclusion, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on the front windscreen wiper, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The history indicates that the front end has been compromised by corrosion and wear, but the rear sub-frame and brake hose have only minor corrosion. Given the rapid mileage growth and the single failure on the windscreen wiper, the car is currently in a state of deteriorating condition that warrants a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic before purchase.
