2018 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · 7 OAR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 February 2026 at 83,741 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of perfect MOT records across the last five years suggests a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners addressed mechanical and safety-critical issues before they reached the point of test failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles annually. Between October 2021 at 37,763 miles and February 2026 at 83,741 miles, the car covered over 46,000 miles, a steady usage pattern without significant gaps between tests. The jump of 13,695 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025/February 2026 tests indicates regular motor use, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and drivetrain components to prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults regarding structural integrity, brake systems, or suspension components, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas. Given the mileage and age, checking the condition of the rubberised suspension bushes and control arms is essential, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT failure until they become severe. Inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning and check the condition of the tyres, as the MOT only monitors for minimum tread depth rather than the overall health of the rubber compound.
