2007 Jaguar X-Type 2.0L Diesel · AF57 WXB

The Jaguar X-Type presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 5 September 2025 at 70,273 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failed attempt on 4 September 2025 at the same mileage, though the failure listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests from September 2022 through September 2024 all passed with no advisories recorded. The odometer shows 70,273 miles against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 3,700 miles per year. Annual increments stayed low and consistent: 63,261 miles in September 2022, 64,148 in September 2023, 66,303 in September 2024, and 70,273 by September 2025. Such limited use over nineteen years suggests extended standing periods, yet the clean MOT sheet shows no corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc issues formally flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as long-term static storage on a 2007 vehicle promotes unseen rust on sills and subframes not always caught in a test lane. The absence of advisories on coil springs, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers across five years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but low mileage hides ageing rubber components and fluid degradation. Verify the reason for the 4 September 2025 failure with no defects logged, and confirm service history to explain the mileage plateau. The X-Type requires scrutiny of drivetrain mounts and steering joints that deteriorate with age irrespective of miles covered.
