2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · AP51 JAM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent and worsening trend regarding the rear suspension assembly. The most recent test in September 2025 at 110,473 miles flagged worn bushes on both nearside and offside rear upper suspension arms, alongside a distorted road wheel and a damaged front tyre. While the car passed, the recurring nature of suspension wear across multiple years indicates that the rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 79,878 miles and September 2025 at 110,473 miles, the car covered roughly 30,600 miles, showing a steady and predictable usage. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress but may have suffered from periods of standing, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber bushes and perishing tyres noted in the earlier records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension, specifically focusing on the shock absorbers. The record shows a history of oil misting and worn bushes dating back to 2021, which have not been clearly resolved in subsequent tests. The presence of a distorted road wheel rim in 2025 also suggests a previous impact that could have affected the alignment or the structural integrity of the wheel assembly. Additionally, the frequent mentions of tyres being worn to the legal limit or damaged indicates that previous owners only replaced consumables when they failed inspection, necessitating an immediate check of the current tread and sidewall integrity.
