2008 Jaguar XF 2.7L Diesel · A5 HSO

The Jaguar XF presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 18 September 2025 at 122,476 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The September 2025 test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure on 17 September 2025 at identical mileage with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. This pattern repeats from September 2024, where a failure on 4 September at 111,366 miles was followed the same day by a pass at 111,370 miles, again with no defects recorded. The odometer reflects about 6,804 miles per year against the vehicle's 2008 build, a typical accumulation for an 18-year-old executive saloon. From the 7 September 2023 pass at 98,742 miles to the 4 September 2024 pass at 111,370 miles the car covered 12,628 miles, then only 11,106 miles to September 2025. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, recording no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the age, as MOT records with zero advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant hands-on checks despite no binding or wear being flagged. The same-day fail-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 suggest the previous owner used a test station that re-ran the vehicle quickly; this implies routine annual compliance but offers no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond the minimum.
