2007 Jaguar S-Type SE TD 2.7L Heavy oil · BN57 MYF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT on 15 March 2026 at 99,754 miles. This clean pass follows a failure on 26 February 2026 at 99,656 miles, although the specific defect for that failure was not recorded. The recent history from late 2023 through early 2026 shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without advisories, suggesting that the vehicle's mechanical condition has been well-maintained in recent years. The mileage pattern indicates very low annual usage for a 2007 model, averaging approximately 5,250 miles per year. A significant jump occurred between the 2018 test at 50,721 miles and the 2019 test at 109,702 miles, representing a period of heavy use. Since 2019, the mileage has climbed much more gradually, with only 1,448 miles recorded between the October 2023 test and the December 2024 test. This low-use pattern can sometimes lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as perished rubber seals or seized calipers, despite the low odometer readings. The historical record shows isolated mechanical issues rather than systemic failures. The 2012 test flagged an insecure steering column universal joint, and the 2015 test noted slight corrosion to the ferrules on both front brake hoses. While these issues appear to have been addressed, a prospective buyer should manually inspect the steering play and the condition of all brake lines and connections. Given the age of the vehicle and the long periods of low mileage, checking for age-related deterioration in suspension bushes and various rubber hoses is a prudent step.
