Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the high mil
Priority should be given to reviewing the service history of the 4196cc engine to ensure oil changes and major components have been managed given the 172,897-mile total. Verify if the rear differential seal leak noted in November 2021 was professionally repaired or merely monitored.
Negotiate based on the recorded corrosion of the front sub-frame from December 2024. While it was not deemed 'seriously weakened' at the time, this is a known weak point for the model and may require preventative treatment or repair to avoid future failure.
The 4.2L petrol engine will incur high fuel costs and falls into a high road tax bracket due to emissions. Insurance groups for the XJR are typically high, reflecting its performance capabilities and repair costs.
Maintenance for a high-mileage Jaguar is generally expensive, with parts and specialised labour adding to the overhead. Expect significant annual expenditure to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
A detailed inspection of the front sub-frame is critical, following the corrosion advisory in the December 2024 MOT. Check the rear differential area for any current signs of oil leakage, referencing the failure recorded in 2021.
Inspect the current state and brand of the tyres; the November 2021 MOT recorded three tyres worn close to the legal limit, which can sometimes point to underlying suspension or alignment issues if repeated. Finally, check the windscreen for any remaining damage noted in the 2021 records.
This black 2006 Jaguar XJR has recorded 172,897 miles, which is significantly higher than the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows a series of passes since 2021, although it has flagged issues including a leaking diff seal, tyre wear, and sub-frame corrosion. It serves as a high-mileage example of the XJR range with a mixed record of advisories.
The XJR has an average MOT pass rate of 81.5%, with corrosion, exhaust issues, and tyre wear identified as the most common failure reasons across the model range.
