2016 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · AX65 ALU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The January 2026 test at 30,127 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a compliant state at the start of the year. This follows a December 2024 test at 27,082 miles where the tester flagged wearing rear brake pads. The absence of any advisories or defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the previously noted brake wear was addressed. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The records show a consistent, slow increase in distance, moving from 11,592 miles in January 2019 to 30,127 miles in January 2026. This pattern of low annual usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often places higher stress on rubber components and fluids due to age rather than distance. The history reveals a clear trend regarding tyre condition during periods of lower usage. In January 2019, the tester identified multiple tyres with cracking or perishing sidewalls, and the January 2020 test at 15,535 miles flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These issues are typical for vehicles that sit idle for extended periods, where rubber compounds degrade and tyres develop flat spots or sidewall cracking. A prospective buyer should focus a physical inspection on the condition of all rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls, to ensure age-related perishing has not occurred. Although the brake pad advisory from December 2024 appears resolved, a manual check of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs is advisable. Given the low mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or seized calipers resulting from infrequent use would be a prudent step.
