2007 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · US03 DEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent MOT test. The inspection conducted in October 2024 at 142,146 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted earlier in October 2023, the immediate pass at the same mileage suggests the specific fault was identified and rectified quickly, showing a proactive approach to maintenance rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used but sparingly driven grand tourer, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the car covered 10,603 miles, while the interval between 2022 and 2024 saw a lower accumulation of 5,088 miles over two years. This fluctuation suggests the vehicle may spend periods of time stationary, which is common for luxury cars of this age but can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low total odometer reading. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and rubber bushings, as these are common failure points on the XK platform after nineteen years of service. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, check for signs of structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust hangers that a standard MOT might not flag until they become critical. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for seizing or pitted discs, as low-annual mileage often leads to brake hardware rusting despite the lack of wear.
