1969 Jaguar E-Type 5.3L Petrol · 69 TD

The Jaguar E-Type passed its most recent MOT on 2 July 2022 at 66,985 miles with no defects recorded, placing its documented roadworthiness status as clean at that point. The maintenance trend shown by the single available record is stable, with no advisories or failures logged across the tested systems. Given the four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026, the vehicle has not been subject to a recorded annual test since, leaving its current condition unverified by DVLA data. The recorded mileage of 66,985 at the 2022 test equates to an average of roughly 1,175 miles per year across the car's 57-year life, confirming exceptionally low use for its age. The MOT history contains only one entry, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be assessed beyond the absence of subsequent records. Such low annual coverage typically indicates prolonged static periods, which carry their own risks for rubber perishing, fluid degradation, and corrosion rather than high-mileage mechanical fatigue. A buyer should physically inspect the E-Type for structural rust on the monocoque and outriggers, as long-term standing invites moisture-driven corrosion unseen in a clean test sheet. The brake system, including calipers and discs, needs manual check for seizure after years without a recorded test. Suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for age cracking regardless of tread, since elapsed time degrades rubber faster than mileage on a car used this lightly.
