2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · WU17 ACV

The 2026‑06‑26 MOT at 59,967 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The record shows a clear improvement after the 2025‑07‑14 failure, which listed a serious rear shock fluid leak and tyre wear, and the subsequent 2025‑07‑16 test recorded no failures, indicating that the identified faults were remedied. The 2024‑07‑22 failure concerning stop lamps was resolved before the 2025‑07‑16 inspection. At nine years old, the vehicle’s 59,967 miles equate to roughly 6,663 miles per year, a rate typical for a lightly used car. Mileage has risen steadily since the 2020‑06‑26 test at 26,449 miles, with the most recent increase of 5,516 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, reflecting regular usage rather than long periods of inactivity. Earlier intervals were more spaced, but the recent acceleration aligns with normal annual driving patterns. Recurring issues centre on tyre wear on the edges, rear shock fluid leakage, and progressive brake disc wear, while earlier tests recorded corrosion of all four discs in 2023. The edge wear suggests possible suspension or alignment problems, and the shock leak points to deteriorating rear suspension components that require close inspection. Brake disc wear, though not excessive, indicates the need to verify pad thickness and disc condition, and the prior corrosion warrants checking for structural rust on the wheel hubs and surrounding chassis. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension for leaks, check tyre tread depth and wear pattern, inspect brake discs for scoring or cracks, confirm pad wear limits, test all stop lamps, and look for any signs of structural rust or damage on the chassis. These checks will verify that the remedial work performed after the 2025 failures has restored the vehicle to a stable condition.
