2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · AE60 MJV

The vehicle shows a consistent history of passing MOT tests, but the data reveals a pattern of developing mechanical wear. In the most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 93,681 miles, the tester flagged the front brake discs as worn, pitted, and scored. This issue is recurring, having first appeared in February 2024 at 79,655 miles, where only the nearside disc was noted. The 2026 inspection also identified front tyres worn close to the legal limit with inner edge wear, suggesting a persistent alignment issue that has not been addressed since the 2023 advisory. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,681 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,855 miles per year. This low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals. The front shock absorbers have shown a light misting of oil in every annual test from February 2022 through to 2026. While a light misting is not an immediate failure criterion, the persistence over four years indicates that the seals are nearing the end of their functional life and will eventually require replacement to prevent significant fluid loss. The mechanical trend suggests the vehicle is subject to reactive maintenance typical of an aging luxury saloon. The combination of pitted brake discs and inner-edge tyre wear indicates that the front suspension geometry or braking system requires professional attention to prevent further uneven component wear. A buyer should verify the front alignment and inspect the physical condition of the shock absorbers to ensure the misting is not progressing. No structural failures are recorded in this history, but the recurring advisories on front-end components highlight a lack of proactive maintenance.
