2017 Jaguar XE R-Sport D AWD Auto 2.0L Heavy oil · BN17 XSU

A consistent track record of clean MOT results over the last six years defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness profile. Following a failure and advisory in July 2020 involving rear brake pad thickness and nearside front tyre wear, the car has secured consecutive passes without any recorded defects or advisories, most recently on 15 March 2026. This trend indicates that the specific issues identified during the 2020 inspection were addressed and that no subsequent mechanical failures or structural degradations have been flagged by the DVSA in the intervening six years of testing. The recorded mileage of 52,396 miles against a 2017 registration suggests a low annual usage pattern of approximately 5,822 miles per year. While this level of accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average, it is important to note the testing gap between December 2022 and March 2024. Low-mileage vehicles that are driven infrequently can sometimes experience more rapid degradation of rubber components or fluid stagnation, though the absence of recent advisories suggests no immediate issues have been detected during the latest inspections. Given the historical advisory regarding the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, a prospective buyer should inspect the current tread depth and evenness across all four tyres. Uneven wear on the edges of the tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and check for any pulling to one side or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate that the underlying cause of the previous tyre wear has not been fully rectified or has recurred. The 2020 failure specifically highlighted rear brake pads being below the 1.5 mm threshold, a dangerous defect. Although the subsequent five tests have been clear, the braking system should be thoroughly evaluated. During your assessment, perform several controlled braking manoeuvres to check for any pedal judder, pulsation, or unusual noises such as squealing or grinding. Ensure the brake pedal feels firm and consistent, as this will confirm the continued integrity of the pads and discs following the previous recorded deficiency.
