2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0L Petrol · AT54 ADE

A consistent record of clean MOT results characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 15 July 2026 resulting in a pass. While the history shows five consecutive years of passing without major failures or significant defects, the most recent inspection introduced a single advisory regarding a nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. This marks the first recorded advisory in a series of tests that previously showed no defects, indicating a shift from a completely clear record to one requiring attention to consumable wear. The recorded mileage of 30,145 miles against an eight-year age profile represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 3,768 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven significantly less than the UK average, which typically results in less mechanical wear on high-friction components such as the braking system, suspension bushes, and drivetrain. However, such low annual mileage can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may impact the condition of rubber components and fluids, though the MOT history does not explicitly flag any age-related deterioration or failures resulting from long-term storage. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the nearside front tyre mentioned in the July 2026 advisory. The note regarding the tyre being worn on the edge suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor the vehicle for any pulling to one side under braking or steady acceleration, and to listen for any unusual knocking or clunking sounds from the front suspension when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps. Such symptoms could indicate worn control arm bushes or tie-rod ends that may be contributing to the uneven tyre wear. Beyond the specific tyre advisory, the lack of recorded failures or structural corrosion advisories in the DVSA history provides a baseline for inspecting the vehicle's underbody and braking components. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should still confirm that the brake discs are not heavily pitted from disuse and that the tyre sidewalls show no signs of cracking. Ensuring the steering feels precise and centered will help determine if the edge wear noted in the latest MOT is an isolated tyre issue or a symptom of a broader alignment or suspension component requirement.
