2007 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L Petrol · BL07 PDO

The roadworthiness status of this Jaguar S-Type is currently compliant, established by a pass recorded on 2025-05-17 at 125,333 miles after correcting an initial failure for insufficient windscreen washer fluid. The maintenance trend shows a stabilization following corrective work, transitioning from a heavy failure in December 2022 that involved an engine malfunction indicator lamp and a binding nearside rear service brake. That 2022 test also flagged a coolant leak, which subsequently disappeared from the 2024 and 2025 advisory notes, indicating that the cooling system issue was likely repaired. Accumulating 125,333 miles over roughly nineteen years yields an average of approximately 6,596 miles per year, reflecting typical light-to-moderate usage for an executive saloon of this era. The testing frequency reveals notable gaps in the historical paper trail, with no recorded MOT tests found between December 2002 and April 2024 aside from the events in late 2022. This sparse testing pattern means the vehicle spent significant periods unverified or off the road, necessitating careful scrutiny of how well components survived those dormant intervals. An in-person inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the floorpan and chassis rails, specifically investigating the underbody corrosion advisory noted across the May 2025 tests. The braking system requires thorough physical assessment to confirm that the nearside rear calliper and parking brake mechanisms operate smoothly without binding, addressing the major defect logged in December 2022. Buyers should also inspect the engine bay for any residual coolant seepage to verify the permanent resolution of the previously reported leak, alongside checking the condition of the nearside rear tyre which was flagged for edge wear in April 2024.
