2022 Jaguar F-Pace 5.0L Petrol · AS13 KEN

The latest MOT test conducted on 2nd September 2026 resulted in a pass, though it included an advisory regarding the offside rear tyre. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle transitioned from a clean pass in 2025 to a pass with a single advisory this year. This indicates that while the vehicle's primary mechanical systems are functioning within acceptable parameters, it is now entering a phase where age-related wear on consumables is becoming more apparent. With 27,377 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of 6,844 miles per annum. This is considered low-to-moderate mileage for a premium SUV of this age, which is generally beneficial for the mechanical longevity of the engine and transmission. However, such usage profiles can sometimes imply the vehicle has been subject to longer periods of standing or short-distance commuting. This can lead to specific maintenance requirements, such as the need for more frequent attention to battery health and the prevention of moisture-related issues within the braking and exhaust systems. The advisory regarding the offside rear tyre perishing is a key point for inspection. You must examine the sidewalls and tread of all tyres for any signs of cracking, perishing, or dry rot, as these can compromise structural integrity even if tread depth is sufficient. During the test drive, pay close attention to any unusual road noise, vibrations, or handling inconsistencies that might suggest uneven tyre wear or internal carcass damage. Because the vehicle has seen relatively low annual mileage, you should also inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and check that the calipers are not binding, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear surface oxidation. Furthermore, ensure that the service history confirms time-based maintenance, such as the replacement of brake fluid and engine oil, which are critical when mileage is low. Given the potential for the vehicle to have sat idle, check the condition of the 12V battery and look for any signs of fluid leaks from suspension bushes or dampers that may have stiffened or perished due to age. Verifying that the service book contains regular stamps will be essential to confirm that the vehicle has been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule despite the lower mileage.
