2006 Jaguar S-Type 2.7L Diesel · DA06 DGE

The 2006 Jaguar S-Type presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 91,419 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the August 2024 tests showed a pass at 87,226 miles on the 12th following a fail on the 9th at 87,223 miles, though the failure entry lists no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five recorded tests from November 2022 to September 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination with no advisories or reported wear, pointing to consistent statutory compliance. At roughly 20 years old, the car shows 91,419 miles on the clock, an average of about 4,571 miles per year. The record traces a gentle climb: 80,997 miles in November 2022, 84,372 in November 2023, 87,223 in August 2024, and 91,419 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually, confirming light use with no abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though long idle periods common at this mileage can conceal perished rubber and fluid degradation not visible in MOT data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low annual motion. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake calipers, neither of which the clean MOT trail excludes. The unexplained fail on 9 August 2024 with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA test certificate to confirm no omitted fault code or presenter error. No recurring mechanical or structural trends emerge from the supplied records, so serious risk appears low on paper. Verify underbody integrity, coolant and brake fluid condition, and tyre sidewall cracking before purchase, as these consumables fall outside MOT scope yet degrade with age regardless of mileage.
