Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent record of clean MOT results across the last three annual inspections suggests a history of uninterrupted roadworthiness for this Jaguar F-Type. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 returned no defects, maintaining a trend of zero failures or advisories dating back to the 2024 inspection. This absence of recorded issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting indicates that no specific mechanical components have reached a threshold of failure or significant wear requiring official notification during the testing periods. The vehicle's usage profile shows a relatively low annual mileage accumulation of approximately 5,747 miles over its five-year lifespan. With a current recorded mileage of 28,737, the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average for a car of this age. While lower mileage generally implies less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages, such patterns can sometimes coincide with extended periods of inactivity. In high-performance vehicles, infrequent use can lead to different wear profiles on consumables compared to high-mileage examples, though the MOT history does not currently show any defects related to such usage. Because the MOT records show no advisories for components such as suspension bushes, brake pipes, or exhaust systems, there are no specific mechanical defects to investigate based on official documentation. On a test drive, focus should remain on the tactile feedback of the vehicle to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in any unrecorded issues. Listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushings or coil springs. Monitor the brake pedal for any unusual vibration or judder under heavy braking, which would suggest uneven disc wear or sticking calipers. Additionally, observe the steering response for any pulling to one side or wandering, which might indicate issues with wheel alignment or steering rack components. Given the performance nature of the vehicle, check for any signs of fluid weeping around the engine or gearbox area during a stationary inspection, as the MOT record does not provide details on oil misting or minor leaks. The lack of recorded failures provides a baseline of compliance, but a physical inspection of the underside for any early signs of corrosion or fluid loss is recommended to supplement the clean DVSA history.

Our Verdict

The 2021 Jaguar F‑Type presents a clean

When viewing the car, ask for any service records that may exist beyond the MOT data to confirm whether routine maintenance has been kept up, especially oil changes and timing belt service if applicable. Compare the asking price against similar 2021 F‑Types with comparable mileage; the above‑average mileage may justify a lower offer. Be aware that the model’s top MOT failure reasons are tyre wear, windscreen wiper issues and suspension arm problems, so verify that these items have not been replaced recently or show signs of imminent failure.

During negotiations, highlight the three clean MOT passes as a positive point, but also use the higher mileage as a lever to seek concessions for potential upcoming wear items. Consider obtaining a pre‑purchase inspection from a Jaguar‑specialist mechanic who can check for hidden issues such as engine knock, clutch wear (if manual) and any electronic glitches that are not captured in MOT results.

The 2.0‑litre petrol engine in the F‑Type typically delivers around 30–35 mpg (combined), which translates to roughly £1,200‑£1,400 of fuel cost per year assuming 10,000 mi of driving at current fuel prices. Road tax for a 2.0‑litre petrol sports car falls into Band H, costing about £210 per annum. Insurance groups for the F‑Type are usually in the 30s to low 40s, leading to an average annual premium of £800‑£1,200 depending on driver profile.

Maintenance on a Jaguar sports model can be higher than mainstream cars; routine servicing, brake pad replacement and tyre wear often amount to £500‑£700 per year. Adding fuel, tax and insurance, the estimated total annual running cost sits in the region of £2,500‑£3,300.

Even though the MOT history shows no failures, focus on the components most frequently flagged for this model. Inspect the tyres for tread depth, uneven wear and sidewall damage, as tyre failures are a top MOT issue for the F‑Type. Check the windscreen wiper blades and operation, ensuring they clear the glass effectively and show no signs of cracking or motor noise.

Examine the suspension arms and related bushings for any play, clunking noises, or visual wear, as suspension arm failures also appear among the common MOT failures. Finally, conduct a basic engine and exhaust check for leaks, unusual noises, and verify that all warning lights on the dashboard are off, since MOT does not capture all possible mechanical problems.

This red 2021 Jaguar F‑Type has passed its MOT in January 2024, 2025 and 2026 with no defects recorded, showing a consistent compliance record. The mileage of 28,737 mi exceeds the model’s average expected mileage of around 20,700 mi for its age, suggesting higher usage. While the vehicle benefits from a clean MOT history, potential wear on components commonly flagged for this model – tyres, windscreen wipers and suspension arms – should be inspected. Overall, the car offers the appeal of a recent sports coupé but carries the usual considerations of a five‑year‑old high‑performance vehicle.

The Jaguar F‑Type has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 92.4%, indicating that the majority of vehicles in the dataset pass their tests, but the model does show recurring issues with tyres, windscreen wipers and suspension arms.
