2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · AV10 OWA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension component wear. While the most recent test in May 2024 at 106,352 miles passed, the tester identified severely deteriorated nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint dust covers and a damaged nearside rear track rod end. These issues follow a pattern of degradation noted in 2021 and 2023, suggesting the suspension assembly is reaching the end of its functional life. The recorded mileage of 106,352 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 6,647 miles per year, which is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2020 and March 2021, where the car covered only 538 miles in a year. However, the mileage increased significantly by over 20,000 miles between 2021 and 2024. This surge in activity likely accelerated the wear of rubber bushes and ball joints seen in the later MOT advisories. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire suspension geometry. The recurring faults in the 2021, 2023, and 2024 records specifically point to control arms, bushes, and track rod ends. Particular attention should be paid to the nearside side where multiple defects were flagged. Furthermore, the 2020 report of corrosion on the rear integral body structure near a mounting requires a close check to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond the advisory level recorded during that test.
