2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · AJ10 HMU

The Jaguar XF presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 April 2024 at 168,173 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two anomalous fail-and-pass pairs within days of each other. On 5 April 2024 the car failed at 168,152 miles with no defects listed, then passed a week later. An identical pattern occurred on 14 April 2023 at 157,844 miles. These back-to-back failures with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, but the buyer should treat them as a minor credibility flag on the record. At roughly 10,511 miles per year, the 168,173 recorded miles are typical for a 2010 vehicle of this type. The annual increments are consistent: 147,190 miles in April 2022, 157,844 in April 2023, and 168,173 by April 2024. That equates to about 10,600 miles between each test, showing steady private or light executive use with no standing periods or mileage spikes. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or defects ever logged across the visible history. Given the clean record, no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion appear in the official data. The recurring same-day fail-and-pass cycles on 14 April 2023 and 5 to 12 April 2024 warrant a check of the V5C and test station details to confirm no suppressed defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, subframe rust, and binding calipers, as a 16-year-old Jaguar at this mileage commonly hides wear the MOT did not capture. The absence of any flagged exhaust emissions or tyre issues implies basic upkeep was not neglected in the test lane. Previous owners likely kept the car to a predictable annual mileage and used it on main roads. Verify service history against the 10,600-mile yearly gaps before purchase.
