2008 Jaguar XJ 2.7L Diesel · D1 NLH

The Jaguar XJ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 59,560 miles which recorded no defects. Across the five available MOT entries from November 2021 through December 2025, every test passed with no advisories or faults raised. The vehicle shows no worsening condition and no recurring mechanical concerns across the recorded period. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for an eighteen year old vehicle. The record shows 52,974 miles in November 2021, rising to just 59,560 miles by December 2025, a total accumulation of 6,586 miles over four years or roughly 1,646 miles per year. The longest gap between tests ran from 27 October 2023 to 9 October 2024 with only 1,280 miles added, and the clean sweep of passes with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear flags. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as low mileage cars left standing can develop hidden rust the annual test did not flag. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for perishing or binding calipers given the limited road use. The absence of recorded faults in the MOT history offers reassurance, but the DVSA test does not strip components and a specialist view of the XJ's air suspension and V8 drivetrain remains prudent before purchase.
