2012 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · AP57 AEP

The Jaguar XF presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 24 March 2026 at 149,149 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2026 pass came six days after a failure on 18 March 2026 at 148,608 miles, though the tester logged no defects on either entry. This pattern repeats the prior year: a fail on 10 March 2025 at 137,496 miles was followed by a pass on 25 March 2025 at 137,552 miles, again with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its 1 March 2024 test at 128,048 miles without issue. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 10,650 miles per year against the 149,149 recorded. The gap between the March 2024 pass and March 2025 fail shows about 9,450 miles added, then 10,600 miles to the 2026 pass. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes are evident from the data. The record is sparse on advisories, with every entry either clean or a defect-free fail, which limits insight into consumable wear but suggests no outstanding corrosion, brake, or suspension flags were raised by DVSA testers. The recurring fail-then-pass sequence within days, with no defects noted, points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions given the car's fourteen-year age and high six-figure mileage. The absence of advisories across five tests means worn coil springs, binding calipers, or tyre tread limits were not flagged, but such items degrade between tests and warrant hands-on verification before purchase.
