2008 Jaguar XJ 2.7L Diesel · AV08 UZN

The most recent MOT on 2025‑02‑13 at 100,360 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Jaguar XJ remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable, with no recurring failures evident in the latest test. The mileage pattern shows a 2008 vehicle accumulating 100,360 miles over 18 years, averaging 5,576 miles per year, yet the increments reveal a deceleration: a jump of 6,428 miles from 2021‑11‑26 to 2022‑12‑03, followed by only 2,659 miles by 2024‑01‑22 and 1,083 miles by 2025‑02‑13, indicating extended periods of inactivity that may mask wear on consumables. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or sagging, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs are free of scoring, examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, and confirm the exhaust system meets emission standards; tyre tread depth and wiper condition should also be checked as potential indicators of neglect. While the documented MOTs show a clean record, the vehicle’s age and relatively low recent mileage suggest that hidden corrosion or worn mechanical parts could exist, making a thorough physical inspection essential before purchase.
