2009 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · AJ09 FAK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status based on the August 2025 test at 135,299 miles, with no defects recorded. That result extends a stable short-term pattern: the Jaguar passed cleanly in August 2025 and August 2024, followed an earlier failed attempt in the same month with a re-test pass, and recorded three consecutive passes through 2022 and 2023. The absence of recorded advisories across all five visible tests suggests the tester did not identify wear items requiring follow-up, though MOT records only capture items deemed reportable on the day and cannot verify mechanical condition between visits. Annual usage averages roughly 7,959 miles over seventeen years, which sits broadly in line with typical mileage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded entries span August 2022 to August 2025, covering a continuous three-year testing window with no gaps in compliance. Mileage accumulation appears steady across these tests rather than indicating long stationary periods or unusually heavy use between annual checks, consistent with regular but moderate driving patterns. For an in-person evaluation, a buyer should focus on the areas MOT testing does not fully cover. A 2009 Jaguar X-TYPE at this age and mileage warrants close inspection of the rear suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these components commonly wear and are not always flagged unless play or corrosion is visible during testing. Brake discs and calipers, especially the rear calipers known for binding on earlier X-TYPE models, should be checked for uneven wear or sticking operation. Subframe and rear diff mounting points merit scrutiny for structural corrosion, given the model's known vulnerability to rust in these areas. Finally, a compression test and inspection of the cooling system, including the thermostat housing and auxiliary belt drive, would be prudent given the engine's age and the high accumulated mileage.
