2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · CK59 PBX

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend of worsening mechanical wear. While the December 2025 test at 128,298 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged a worn nearside rear lower suspension arm bush. This follows a more significant failure in December 2024 at 122,040 miles, where the tester identified a coolant leak, corroded exhaust silencer supports, and multiple deteriorated dust covers on the anti-roll bar linkages and track control arms. The recurrence of suspension component wear suggests that while individual faults are being addressed, the vehicle is entering a phase of age-related component degradation. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 2010 vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 69,466 miles in 2016 to the current 128,298 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing history, though the frequency of failures increased between 2023 and 2024. The owner appears to be reactive rather than proactive, often waiting for MOT failures to address consumables like tyres or lighting, rather than performing preventative maintenance. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The repeated mentions of corroded exhaust supports in 2024 and worn suspension bushes in 2020 and 2025 indicate that the chassis and suspension assemblies are subject to ongoing wear and potentially environmental corrosion. The coolant leak noted in the December 2024 failure requires verification that the cooling system has been thoroughly pressure tested and that no residual leaks persist. Finally, the history of uneven tyre wear, specifically on the edges, points to potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension geometry. Given the multiple advisories regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear dating back to 2017, a thorough inspection of the steering components and wishbones is necessary to ensure the vehicle tracks straight and does not prematurely consume new rubber.
