2021 JAGUAR XF S D MHEV AUTO2.0L Diesel

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 10,196 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding rubber components and exterior trim. While the car passes without mechanical or structural failures, the recurring appearance of tyre perishing indicates that the vehicle likely sits stationary for extended periods rather than being subjected to regular high-mile use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 2,040 miles annually. Between the February 2024 test at 5,531 miles and the February 2025 test at 7,727 miles, the car covered only 2,196 miles in a full year. This low usage explains the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it directly correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts which suffer from age-related oxidation rather than physical friction-driven tread wear. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 test flagged the set as perished and the 2026 test identified specific cracking and damage on the offside front and rear units. These issues suggest the sidewalls are becoming brittle despite having significant tread depth. You should also verify the offside front wiper, which was noted for smearing in 2025, to ensure the blade has not hardened or dried out due to lack of use. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently. While the MOT record shows no structural rust or suspension bushing failures, the primary risk for this specific vehicle is the age-related failure of consumables. Focus the physical inspection on checking for fluid leaks from seals that may have dried out during long periods of standing.
