2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · ACZ 2017

A consistent track record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 05 August 2025 resulting in a pass despite two specific advisories regarding tyre condition. For the three preceding years spanning 2022 to 2024, the vehicle recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a period of stable roadworthiness. The emergence of tyre-related advisories in the latest inspection represents the only recorded mechanical concern in the provided history, breaking a multi-year streak of defect-free results. The recorded mileage of 120,834 miles over a nineteen-year period reflects an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,360 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical long-distance or occasional touring rather than high-frequency urban driving. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that while the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage wear, the components have been in service long enough to require attention to consumables. The steady mileage progression suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate certain risks associated with long-term inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the tyre condition noted in the August 2025 advisory, specifically the cuts identified on both the offside and nearside front tyres. While the inspector noted these cuts did not reach the ply or cords, they represent a point of potential structural degradation. During a test drive, pay close attention to any unusual vibrations through the steering wheel or rhythmic thumping sounds at motorway speeds, which could indicate uneven wear or internal tyre damage. It is also prudent to inspect the sidewalls for any signs of bulging or further cracking that may have progressed since the last inspection. Beyond the tyres, the absence of recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension, braking systems, or structural integrity over the last several years provides a baseline for the vehicle's documented condition. However, given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and any potential oil misting around the drivetrain remains a standard precaution. On the road, listen for any knocks or clunks when navigating uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel, as these would indicate wear in the suspension linkages that has not yet been flagged by the MOT testing process.
