1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2L Petrol · 3 FJX

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, though the record indicates a pattern of inconsistent preparation for testing. The most recent entry on 11 April 2022 at 72,807 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting a mechanical failure or a presentation issue that was not addressed prior to the appointment. Since no further tests have been recorded for over four years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and the certificate is likely expired or out of date. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 56-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. Between April 2020 and April 2022, the car covered only 663 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage or very limited seasonal use. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases risks associated with rubber degradation, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination. The data shows the vehicle has not exceeded the 73,000 mile mark since at least 2022. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and monocoque sections, as low-mileage classic cars often suffer from hidden corrosion in areas not visible during routine use. The recurring failures without recorded defects suggest the vehicle may have issues with lighting circuits or emissions sensors that are intermittent. Given the four-year gap in testing, a professional check of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and the condition of the tyres is essential to ensure the vehicle has not perished while standing.
