2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · B2 MCN

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of worsening mechanical neglect despite a recent MOT pass. While it cleared the most recent test in October 2025 at 88,423 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The September 2025 failure revealed multiple critical issues including a fractured nearside rear coil spring, an engine management light fault, and an SRS warning lamp. These defects suggest that repairs are only addressed when forced by testing rather than through a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 1,517 miles between the August 2024 test (86,905 miles) and September 2025 (88,422 miles), indicating a period of lower use followed by a sudden accumulation of mileage that coincided with the mechanical failures. The consistent report of wear across all four tyres back to 2022 indicates that the previous owner consistently deferred consumable replacements until the components reached legal limits. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with pitted and scored brake discs, along with fluctuating service brakes noted in 2025, which often indicates warped rotors or sticking calipers. The fractured coil spring suggests a potential failure in the rear suspension components, which can lead to alignment issues and rapid uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the electronic faults regarding the MIL and SRS systems from the 2025 failure must be verified as cleared to ensure the safety systems and engine management software are fully operational.
