2004 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · S555 ACR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on 09 September 2024 at 116,947 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2024, the immediate passes following those tests suggest that any identified faults were addressed and rectified by the previous owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,316 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2024, the car covered only 3,638 miles, moving from 113,309 to 116,947 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sporadically or has sat for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid integrity despite the low mechanical wear indicated. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and braking components, as low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from perished bushings and seized calipers that dry out. Given the failures recorded in August 2022 and August 2024, it is vital to verify the specific reasons for those failures to ensure the repairs were not merely temporary. Close inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as age-rating rust remains a primary concern for this era regardless of the miles driven.
