Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-07-08 resulted in a pass, but recurring brake fluctuations and tyre wear indicate unresolved issues. The nearside front and offside front service brakes showed fluctuating performance in both the 2026-07-08 and 2026-07-02 tests, with the latter also revealing a fractured offside front coil spring. These findings suggest a maintenance trend leaning toward worsening, as suspension and braking components have failed or required repeated attention within a short timeframe. The nearside rear tyre remained close to the legal limit in multiple tests, highlighting persistent tyre condition concerns. Mileage progression shows a steady 9,159 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for the vehicle’s age. The 2024-07-05 test recorded no defects, but the 2025-07-09 and 2026-07-02 tests introduced brake and suspension issues. The 100,746-mile mark in 2026 coincided with a failed test, indicating that high-mileage wear may have exacerbated existing faults. While the 2023-07-11 and 2025-07-09 tests noted tyre wear, no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures were recorded prior to 2026, suggesting a sudden escalation in maintenance requirements. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for further coil spring damage, brake calipers for binding, and tyre tread depth across all four wheels. The repeated brake fluctuations warrant a hydraulic system check, while the fractured coil spring raises concerns about potential related wear on shock absorbers or control arms. Structural integrity should also be assessed for rust, particularly in areas prone to corrosion, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT history. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on these components is essential to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.

Our Verdict

Avoid this vehicle unless major repairs are confirmed. Repeated brake and tyre issues raise concerns about maintenance standards and potential hidden costs.

Prioritise a full brake system inspection, especially the nearside and offside front components flagged in multiple MOTs. Check for replacement records of the fractured coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)) and verify tyre condition history. Negotiate aggressively given the 2026 failure, and request full service records to confirm repairs. Be wary of potential hidden corrosion issues common in older Jaguars.
