2009 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · CU09 CFV

The Jaguar XF presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 78,288 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes in May 2024 at 77,391 miles and May 2023 at 75,918 miles. The two failure entries on the same dates as the passes in 2023 and 2024 show no defects recorded, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle has shown no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the three-year window. At roughly 17 years old, the car has covered just 78,288 miles, an average of about 4,605 miles per year. The records show very low annual use: only 1,473 miles between the May 2023 test and May 2024, then 897 miles to May 2025. Such low accumulation over a long period suggests the car spent extended time stationary, which commonly accelerates rubber degradation in suspension bushes, perished seals, and corrosion on underbody structures despite the clean MOT slate. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension components and subframe for corrosion, as standing vehicles of this age often develop structural rust unseen by MOT testers during a brief lift. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for pitting or binding after low-use dormancy. Check all fluid intervals, as infrequently driven Jaguar XFs suffer from stagnant coolant and brake fluid breakdown not captured by the pass results. The absence of advisories across four tests implies previous owners addressed issues before presentation, yet the sparse defect history gives limited insight into consumable wear. Prioritise a independent pre-purchase examination of the drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions system before committing.
