2014 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · DB58 ROB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful re-test in April 2026. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than preventative care, as faults are addressed only upon failing an inspection. The April 2026 failure at 70,740 miles revealed a fractured offside front coil spring and inoperative registration plate lamps. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass just two miles later, the presence of a broken suspension component suggests that parts are being run until failure occurs. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 9,756 miles, followed by a significant drop to just 3,743 miles in the following year, and another 3,475 miles between the May 2025 and April 2026 tests. This fluctuating low annual usage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber seals and brake caliper corrosion if not managed. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking the remaining coil springs and bushings for cracks or scoring, as the recent failure indicates a potential for wider component fatigue. The 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads confirms that service intervals may be neglected, so the current state of the pads and discs should be measured for uneven wear or pitting. Additionally, the mentions of items removed from the driver's view in two consecutive tests warrant a check of the dashboard and windscreen to ensure no loose obstructions or illegal modifications remain.
