2007 Jaguar S-Type 2.7L Diesel · CV07 GKD

The Jaguar S-Type passed its most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 135,730 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the clean advisories across all entries suggest the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components at the time. The vehicle carries a clean bill of health from the latest examination. Mileage data in this record is inconsistent and warrants scrutiny. The car shows 129,477 miles at the 21 September 2023 pass, then jumps to 217,774 miles at the 20 September 2024 failure and pass, before dropping sharply to 135,709 miles at the 12 September 2025 failure and 135,730 at the 23 September 2025 pass. That 82,000-mile spike between 2023 and 2024, followed by an 82,000-mile reversal, indicates clerical errors at the testing station or incorrect odometer entries rather than genuine use. At roughly 7,144 miles per year averaged over nineteen years, the true accumulation is modest for the age, but the record cannot be trusted for wear prediction without physical verification. The two 2024 and 2025 failures show no recorded defects, meaning the test centres issued failures without noting mechanical faults, a pattern often tied to administrative issues or undocumented minor items. A buyer should still inspect the S-Type in person for age-related corrosion on subframes and sills, check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and confirm the suspension bushes and coil springs show no degradation. Given the mileage discrepancy, a professional odometer and drivetrain inspection is advised before purchase.
