2020 Jaguar I-Pace Electric · CK70 WVN

The Jaguar I-Pace presents a clean MOT history over its recent tests, with no defects recorded in any of the four entries spanning from December 2023 to November 2025. The most recent assessment, conducted on 2025-11-09 at 23,541 miles, passed without advisories, indicating the vehicle met all DVSA roadworthiness criteria at that point. The sole failure in November 2025—also at 23,541 miles—is anomalous, given the absence of defects, suggesting a possible administrative or procedural error rather than a mechanical issue. This consistency, combined with the lack of recurring advisories, points to a stable maintenance trend, though the failure entry warrants verification with the tester’s notes to rule out any overlooked details. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is notably low for its age, averaging just 3,924 miles per year over six years, which is well below the UK average for an electric vehicle of this vintage. The gap between tests is irregular but not excessive: the 2024-12-10 MOT at 21,749 miles follows a 1,982-mile increase from the 2023-12-18 test at 16,767 miles, while the final two entries in late 2025 cover just 1,792 miles over two weeks—a stark contrast that may reflect infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, but it also means components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health may not have been stressed enough to reveal latent issues. The absence of advisories in all tests further supports the likelihood of diligent maintenance, though the battery’s long-term health—critical for EVs—cannot be assessed from MOT records alone. For a buyer, the primary focus should lie on components not routinely checked under MOT but vital for long-term reliability. Given the low mileage, inspect the battery cooling system and software updates, as stagnant EVs can develop thermal or firmware-related issues over time. Check for any signs of corrosion in high-moisture areas, such as the underbody or wheel arches, despite the clean MOT history. The suspension—particularly the air springs or coil springs—should be tested for wear or leaks, as prolonged inactivity can cause seals to degrade. While the MOT records show no brake-related advisories, a manual inspection of the brake calipers, discs, and pads is prudent, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. The absence of defects in the MOT history is encouraging, but the irregular mileage pattern suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase checks to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond what the test captures.
