2023 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · VN23 ETX

The 2023 Jaguar XE shows concerning maintenance trends with a failed MOT on May 21st 2026 at 30,518 miles followed by a pass just one day later at 30,521 miles. The tester initially flagged three separate issues including a structurally compromised nearside rear tyre, ineffective offside front windscreen wiper, and front tyres worn close to legal limits on both edges. The rapid resolution suggests immediate attention to critical safety items, though the multiple simultaneous failures indicate underlying maintenance neglect. The vehicle has accumulated 30,521 miles over approximately three years, averaging roughly 10,174 miles annually which aligns with typical usage patterns. No significant gaps appear in the MOT timeline, though the limited history provides minimal insight into longer-term maintenance consistency. The mileage progression from 30,518 to 30,521 miles across the two tests reflects normal daily driving between the retest appointments. Tyre condition emerges as the primary concern requiring immediate inspection. The original failure cited both front tyres worn close to legal limits with edge wear, plus a structurally failed rear tyre. Edge wear patterns typically indicate alignment issues, underinflation, or worn suspension components that must be addressed before purchase. The wiper blade failure suggests general consumable neglect across the vehicle. Brake system inspection becomes critical given the tyre failures at relatively low mileage for a three-year-old vehicle. Edge wear on multiple tyres simultaneously points toward suspension geometry problems or incorrect inflation pressures. Check all four tyres thoroughly for remaining tread depth and examine suspension bushes, ball joints, and alignment settings during any pre-purchase inspection.
