2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · SJ60 ALO

The 2010 Jaguar XF has maintained a stable roadworthiness record, with all MOT tests from 2019 to 2023 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2023-01-25 at 70,736 miles confirmed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since 2023, leaving a 3.5-year gap that raises concerns about potential undetected deterioration. While the absence of recorded faults suggests no immediate risks, the lack of recent inspection data limits confidence in the current mechanical state. The mileage of 70,736 miles at 16 years old equates to approximately 4,421 miles annually, significantly below average for the model. This low usage could reflect infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may contribute to fluid stagnation, corrosion, or component stiffness. The MOT history shows steady annual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or gaps, implying regular but minimal use. However, the sparse data from 2019 to 2023—only one test per year—offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns beyond basic compliance checks. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for rust or leaks, particularly given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to moisture. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these issues may develop unnoticed. Additionally, the absence of recent MOT records means verifying the vehicle’s service history and assessing cabin rust or structural integrity, which are critical for long-term reliability.
