2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Petrol · D1 DMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 17,501 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following a significant failure in 2022. While the latest test passed without major defects, the tester identified new advisories regarding slight corrosion on the ferrules of both rear brake hoses. This indicates the early stages of degradation common in low-use vehicles requiring monitoring to prevent future mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,945 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between August 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered only 1,80 miles in thirteen months. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, which correlates with the perishing issues noted in the September 2024 test at 16,923 miles, where three tyres showed signs of cracking and damage despite a lack of tread wear. A buyer should prioritize the physical condition of the tyres, as the record indicates age-related rubber dry rot and structural failure of the rubber rather than wear. The 2022 failure revealed worn brake pads and pitted discs across all corners, and while these were clearly replaced, the current advisory on brake hose corrosion suggests the braking system components are susceptible to moisture while sitting. A close inspection of the nearside and offside rear brake lines is necessary to ensure the corrosion has not progressed to a point that would necessitate immediate replacement.
