2019 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0L Diesel · 13 CJX

The vehicle achieved a Pass at its most recent DVSA MOT test conducted on 14 April 2026, although two advisories were recorded relating to the rear braking system. Specifically, the rear brake discs were noted as worn, pitted or scored, though not considered seriously weakened, and the rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin. Reviewing the broader MOT history reveals a stable but progressive pattern of brake deterioration: the 2023 test raised an advisory concerning brake disc pitting across all discs, while the 2022 test flagged pitting on both rear brake discs. The intervening tests in 2024 and 2025 returned clean results with no advisories or defects recorded. This pattern suggests that while the front braking components appear to have been addressed or are wearing within acceptable limits, the rear brake discs have been a recurring concern since at least 2022. This warrants careful attention from any prospective buyer, as the latest advisories indicate that the rear braking system is now reaching a point where replacement or refurbishment is likely imminent. With 63,283 miles recorded over approximately seven years, the vehicle has accumulated an average of around 9,040 miles annually, which is broadly typical for its age and class. There are no significant gaps in usage evident from the MOT history that would suggest extended periods of standing, nor is there any indication of unusually rapid mileage accumulation. This moderate annual mileage is generally favourable from a mechanical perspective, as it implies regular use which helps maintain component integrity, particularly for systems such as the brakes, clutch, and drivetrain. However, the cumulative effect of 63,283 miles on a Jaguar F-PACE means that certain wear-prone components beyond the braking system should be expected to be approaching the latter portion of their service life, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and the timing chain if applicable. Given the recurring advisories on the rear brake discs and the most recent advisory concerning the rear brake pads, a thorough inspection of the braking system is essential. On a test drive, listen for any brake shudder or vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal during moderate to firm deceleration, which would indicate that the disc pitting has progressed beyond cosmetic surface corrosion and is now causing uneven contact with the pads. Pulsation under heavy application or any pulling to one side during stopping would suggest a more advanced disc wear issue or potentially a seizing caliper. Additionally, inspect the rear discs visually for deep grooving or a distinct lip at the outer edge, and check the pad material thickness directly if possible, as the advisory confirms they are wearing thin. Budgeting for replacement of rear brake discs and pads in the near term should be considered a realistic expectation, and it would be prudent to obtain a quote for this work as part of any purchase negotiation. Beyond the documented brake concerns, a vehicle of this age and mileage warrants a comprehensive physical inspection covering several age-related wear factors. Although no obvious long periods of standing are apparent from the mileage pattern, the Jaguar F-PACE can still suffer from corrosion-related issues, particularly around the underbody and within the brake caliper mechanisms where moisture can cause seizing. Inspect all four brake calipers for smooth operation and ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline. Check the tyres carefully for age-related sidewall perishing or cracking, as rubber degradation can occur regardless of tread depth, and verify the production date codes on the sidewalls. Confirm the service history documentation to ensure that time-sensitive items such as brake fluid, coolant, and automatic transmission fluid have been changed at the manufacturer-recommended intervals, as calendar age affects fluid degradation independently of mileage. Test the 12V battery under load, as intermittent use patterns and modern vehicle parasitic drains can shorten battery life, and verify the operation of all electronic systems including infotainment, driver assists, and climate control. Finally, a thorough road test should include driving over uneven surfaces at low speed to detect any suspension knocks or clonks that might indicate worn bushes, drop links, or strut top mount wear consistent with the vehicle's mileage.
