JAGUAR S-TYPE2001 · 4.0L Petrol

The most recent MOT test on 22 July 2025 recorded a pass at 56,267 miles with no defects, though a same-day failure entry with no defects suggests an initial minor issue was rectified before the pass was issued. The overall maintenance trend is stable, with clean passes stretching back to 2022 and no recurring faults flagged across any test. This indicates consistent basic upkeep, though the lack of any advisory notes means the vehicle has not been scrutinised for developing wear. The mileage pattern shows extremely light use, averaging roughly 2,251 miles per year over 25 years. The odometer readings are steady: 55,078 miles in June 2022, 55,443 in June 2023, 55,934 in July 2024, and 56,267 in July 2025. This equates to around 400 to 500 miles per year between tests, suggesting the car has been used sparingly but driven regularly enough to avoid long storage periods. No gaps or sudden jumps in mileage are present. Given the clean record and low mileage, a buyer should still inspect for age-related deterioration not captured by MOT tests. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of mileage. Examine the brake discs and callipers for binding or uneven wear, common on cars that sit for extended periods. Look for structural corrosion, particularly on sills, subframes, and floorpans, as Jaguars of this era are prone to rust. The exhaust system and engine bay hoses also warrant a close look for perishing.
