2014 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · B6 DFB

The Jaguar XK exhibits a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 18 May 2026 at 26,383 miles. While the vehicle required two separate interventions to rectify parking brake system failures in 2024 and 2025, the most recent test indicates these issues have been successfully resolved. The history shows a clear pattern of mechanical rectifications followed by immediate compliance, suggesting that the owner addresses failures promptly rather than deferring necessary repairs. This vehicle has covered a modest 26,383 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,200 miles annually. The low mileage is consistent across the recorded history, with steady, incremental usage patterns observed between 2024 and 2026. Such infrequent use often leads to seized components or accelerated corrosion on brake discs and calipers due to lack of regular operation, which likely explains the recurring parking brake efficiency failures noted in the 2024 and 2025 test cycles. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the electronic parking brake system to ensure smooth operation, as this component has proven to be a recurring point of failure. Given the low annual mileage, check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. Inspect the tyre sidewalls and tread depth closely, as the 2025 failure involving a nail suggests the vehicle may be prone to picking up debris or that the tyres are rarely checked for road hazards. The overall maintenance trend remains positive, but the history confirms that the parking brake mechanism requires consistent use to remain functional.
