2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.1L Petrol · 3660 R

The Jaguar X-Type presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 July 2025 at 63,447 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The recorded mileage shows remarkably low annual use for a 24-year-old vehicle. From the 26 July 2021 test at 61,062 miles to the 14 July 2025 test at 63,447 miles, the car covered just 2,385 miles across four years, averaging under 600 miles per year. The DVSA data shows no gaps in testing and no advisories across any entry, which indicates the keeper maintained continuous annual compliance but the sparse mileage means the record reveals little about wear on high-stress components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion points, particularly sills and subframes, since the X-Type is prone to rust that a pass with no defects may not capture if not yet at test threshold. The low standing mileage raises the risk of perished suspension bushes, seized calipers, and degraded brake hoses from prolonged inactivity rather than friction wear. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on underbody condition, fluid degradation, and tyre sidewall cracking from age. The absence of recorded faults is reassuring but does not substitute for a physical assessment of consumables and hidden structural integrity on a vehicle of this age.
