2006 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · CP06 FDV

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 recorded two issues: front tyres worn close to the legal limit, specifically on the inner edges, and rear sub-frame corrosion that was not seriously weakened. These defects were also noted in earlier MOTs, with front tyre wear appearing as early as 2023. The vehicle has no recorded defects in 2024 and 2022, but the 2025 MOT repeated the tyre wear issue. The recurring pattern of front tyre wear on the inner edges suggests a consistent alignment or suspension issue, potentially linked to improper toe settings or worn suspension components. The rear sub-frame corrosion, while not critical, indicates exposure to environmental factors, possibly due to low mileage and infrequent use. No other defects have been recorded in the history, and the vehicle has passed all MOTs since 2022. The trend shows stability in the main risks: tyre wear has persisted but not worsened, and corrosion remains non-structural. No new safety-critical issues have emerged in the past four years. However, the low mileage (around 1,620 miles annually) raises questions about usage patterns. While it may reflect careful ownership, it could also mean prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing the risk of component degradation from lack of use.
