2013 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · 1993 AC

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 22 May 2026 at 73,685 miles resulting in a pass with zero defects. This represents a significant improvement in maintenance standards compared to previous years. The record shows a clear upward trajectory in vehicle care, transitioning from recurring tyre-related advisories to a clean pass in the last three consecutive inspections. The absence of any recorded defects in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests suggests that the current owner has adopted a proactive approach to replacing consumables before they reach the point of failure. With an average of approximately 5,668 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan, the Jaguar XK has seen relatively light usage. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with no suspicious gaps or periods of inactivity that might indicate long-term storage issues such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The jump from 65,683 miles in October 2023 to the current 73,685 miles indicates the car is being driven regularly rather than left to sit, which is generally beneficial for the health of the engine and drivetrain components. While the MOT history is now clear, a physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking systems, which were not explicitly detailed in recent tests but are critical for this model. Given the history of tyre wear and perishing noted in 2022 and 2023, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, as uneven tyre wear often points to underlying geometry or bushing fatigue. Check the inner walls of the tyres for any signs of age-related cracking, even if the tread depth is sufficient. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or scoring, as low-mileage performance vehicles can sometimes develop binding issues if the brakes are not exercised with sufficient frequency.
