2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · CF06 CHF

The most recent MOT test conducted in June 2026 resulted in a pass, although it highlighted concerns regarding the condition of the front inner brake discs. When reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears unstable regarding the braking system. A significant failure in February 2025 concerning both service and parking brake efficiency, coupled with an advisory for a binding rear brake, suggests a pattern of braking system degradation that has not been fully resolved by simple rectification. With 73,361 miles recorded over eight years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,170 miles annually. This is consistent with typical usage for this class of vehicle and implies a standard rate of mechanical wear. At this mileage, the buyer should expect typical degradation of consumables and the onset of wear in the suspension geometry and drivetrain mounts, which is common for a vehicle of this age and usage profile. Particular attention must be paid to the braking system during the pre-purchase inspection. The recent advisories for pitted and scored inner brake discs, combined with the previous efficiency failures, indicate that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder, pulling to one side under braking, or an uneven pedal feel. The previous mention of a binding rear brake suggests potential caliper seizure, which can lead to premature pad wear and reduced fuel efficiency. Beyond the brakes, the buyer should inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns, specifically on the rear axle, as previously noted in the 2022 records. A physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advised to ensure there are no leaks or structural cracks. Finally, it is imperative to verify the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and, crucially, the replacement of brake fluid, as moisture ingress in the fluid often contributes to the efficiency losses recorded in the vehicle's MOT history.
