2008 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · AF08 NTJ

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following two consecutive failures in January 2025. While the car maintained a clean passing history from 2021 through late 2023, the sudden transition to failure indicates a significant mechanical or safety-related issue that has not been addressed. The maintenance trend has shifted from stable to critical, and the vehicle is not fit for road until the underlying defects are rectified. The vehicle has covered 143,575 miles over 18 years, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. This usage is consistent with typical expectations for an older saloon of this era. There is a notable gap in records between December 2022 and December 2023, where the car covered roughly 10,500 miles. The recent accumulation of 3,000 miles since the 2023 pass suggests a period of heavier use or a specificion failure that led to the immediate test rejection. Given that the recent failures occurred without recorded specific defects in the summary, a buyer must conduct a thorough mechanical inspection to identify the cause of the failure. Considering the age and mileage of this Jaguar X-Type, particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushings and artwork arms, which are common points of wear on this model. The inspection should also focus on structural corrosion points and the condition of the braking system, as the recent test results suggest a component has reached the end of its service life.
