2018 Jaguar F-Type 5.0L Petrol · AMP 805S

This Jaguar F-Type demonstrates a consistent record of roadworthiness, characterized by a near-absence of mechanical defects over its testing history. A clean pass on 2026-05-14 maintains a stable trend of performance, with the only recorded blemish being a single advisory for rear brake pad wear several years prior. The recorded mileage of 29,468 miles is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 3,684 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation typically results in minimal wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings. However, this usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to the hardening of rubber seals or the accumulation of surface corrosion on non-moving components. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the rear pads which were flagged as wearing thin during the May 2024 inspection. While subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded no defects, suggesting the pads were replaced or the wear rate slowed, a test drive should focus on the smoothness of deceleration. Listen for any grinding or high-pitched squealing from the rear axle and feel for any pedal judder that might indicate uneven pad deposition or disc corrosion. Beyond the braking system, the low-mileage nature of this high-performance chassis requires a check for any signs of binding in the steering or suspension. During the test drive, execute a series of low-speed maneuvers to ensure there are no knocks or clicks from the suspension linkages. Ensure the vehicle tracks straight under braking and acceleration, confirming that the low usage has not resulted in any alignment drift or seized components.
