2017 Jaguar E-Type 3.8L Petrol · 719 UYW

The Jaguar shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2024-11-28 at 3,171 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle failed the test on 2024-08-19 at 3,105 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded against the failure, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. The earlier pass on 2021-11-08 at 2,383 miles also carried no advisories, so the documented history gives no evidence of escalating mechanical concern. The odometer reads just 3,171 miles on a nine-year-old car, equating to roughly 352 miles per year. The jump from 2,383 miles in November 2021 to 3,105 miles by August 2024 shows only 722 miles added across nearly three years, with a further 66 miles to the late-2024 pass. Such low annual use suggests long standing periods rather than regular road time, and the sparse record leaves large intervals unverified between the 2021 and 2024 tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on corrosion to structural panels and suspension bushes, as prolonged inactivity accelerates rust and perishes rubber mounts even when the MOT shows clean. The brake discs and calipers warrant checking for seizure or face pitting after the car sat unused for months at a time. The unexplained August 2024 failure with no listed defect means the buyer must confirm the exact refusal reason from the test station before relying on the subsequent pass.
