JAGUAR XJR2000 · 4.0L PETROL

The Jaguar XJR passed its most recent MOT on 9 July 2026 at 157,528 miles with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle remains roadworthy and showing a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The March 2025 test at 157,071 miles flagged only rear tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges, a minor consumable issue since corrected, with no structural, brake, or suspension advisories ever raised. Recorded mileage sits at 157,528 against a 26-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,059 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a performance saloon of this age. The data shows sparse but clean testing: a gap exists between the October 2020 test at 154,136 miles and April 2022 at 155,416 miles, then low annual accumulation through to 2026, suggesting light recent use rather than neglect. No rapid accumulation or missing-year failures appear in the DVSA record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as the XJR's air suspension and aged subframe mounts are prone to degradation despite the clean MOT trail. The 2025 rear tyre edge wear hints at possible tracking deviation or worn rear arm geometry; verify wheel alignment and tyre condition on both axles. Given the 2000 build and 26 years of service, examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, and check sills and floorpan for structural rust unseen in emissions-only testing.
