2010 Jaguar XJ 2.7L Diesel · 8180 RH

The Jaguar XJ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 76,228 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the lone failure in June 2022. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 76,228 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,764 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 65,083 miles on 22 June 2022, rising to 65,099 the next day after the retest, then 68,269 by 26 May 2023, 71,554 on 14 June 2024, and 76,228 by May 2025. Low annual use implies light running but also raises the prospect of prolonged standing, which can age tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes without high-mileage wear showing in the record. The only blemish is the failure on 22 June 2022 at 65,083 miles, where the tester logged no specific defect yet the car failed and passed cleanly twenty-four hours later at 65,099 miles. This pattern suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, though a buyer should confirm the original failure reason from the full DVSA certificate. Given the clean sheet and low mileage, a buyer should still physically inspect for corrosion on structural underbody members, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from inactivity, and verify brake discs are free of pitting after standing. The absence of advisories means no flagged trends, but a 16-year-old Jaguar warrants a hands-on check of exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition beyond the MOT scope.
