2011 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · 779 CYB

The Jaguar XJ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 69,442 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 25 July 2023 at 62,089 miles that was immediately re-tested the same day and passed with no defects noted, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. Recorded mileage sits at 69,442 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 4,629 miles per year. The odometer moved from 57,469 in July 2022 to 62,089 in July 2023, then 66,139 in July 2024 and 69,442 in July 2025, a consistent ~4,000 to 4,500 miles annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean advisory columns across all entries imply the previous keeper kept consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes within limits, though low use over fifteen years raises the risk of perished seals or standing corrosion not captured by the MOT. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes, as the XJ's aluminium architecture can hide localised corrosion where protective coatings fail. Check the front suspension bushes and rear coil springs for age-related cracking, and confirm brake calipers are free given the car's low annual mileage may have allowed them to seize through disuse. The absence of recurring advisories points to a lightly used, well-presented example rather than a neglected high-mileage saloon. Verify service history matches the low mileage and inspect for moisture in the brake fluid and degraded rubber components before purchase.
