2014 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · AY14 XFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2026 at 100,854 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car enjoyed a period of clean tests between 2020 and 2024, the last two years show a marked increase in advisories. The February 2026 test flagged multiple issues including a loose undertray, an insecure registration plate, and damaged windscreen glass. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year. The distance covered between 82,842 miles in March 2024 and 100,854 miles in February 2026 indicates a slight increase in annual usage recently, covering approximately 18,000 miles in two years. This increased road use likely contributes to the recent acceleration of wear on consumables and suspension components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The February 2025 and February 2026 tests both flagged worn pins or bushes in the rear suspension arms, indicating a persistent degradation that has not been rectified. Brake performance is also a concern; the February 2025 test noted imbalanced front brakes requiring repair, and the February 2026 test recorded a fluctuating offside front service brake. Immediate attention is required for the tyres and glass. The most recent record identifies both rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit, with one containing a nail and both showing signs of cracking. The windscreen has been flagged as damaged across multiple tests dating back to 2018, suggesting a long-term failure to replace the glass. These recurring issues with tyres and glass suggest a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one.
