2015 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · AV65 DUU

The Jaguar XE’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-22—just ten months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the fifth consecutive annual pass without failings, suggesting consistent compliance with basic MOT standards. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the last two tests (2024 and 2025) implies no obvious pattern of neglect or deferred maintenance. However, the duplicate entry for 2022—where the vehicle failed and passed on the same date—raises suspicion of an administrative error or potential oversight in the original test, though no technical details are provided to clarify. Mileage progression shows a steady but moderate rate of around 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. For example, between 2022 and 2023, mileage increased by 9,800 miles in a year, and similarly between 2024 and 2025, it rose by 19,697 miles—both within an expected range. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage or prolonged disuse, but the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden mechanical wear cannot be confirmed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely checked under MOT standards. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be scrutinised for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points in premium vehicles of this age. Brake systems warrant close attention, especially rear calipers and discs, given the 2022 anomaly; binding or uneven wear could indicate past neglect. Structural integrity is also critical; check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and subframes, as Jaguar XEs are prone to rust in these areas. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions-related faults are often overlooked until they become MOT failures.
