2018 Jaguar XE 2.0L Petrol · DC18 HHA

The Jaguar XE presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 33,445 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in October 2024 and March 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a fail on 6 October 2024 at 32,066 miles, but the DVSA record shows no defects listed and the car passed nine days later at 32,071 miles, indicating the failure was administrative or a retest without recorded fault correction. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 16,695 miles at the 13 March 2023 test, rising to 26,957 miles by 6 March 2024, then 32,066 to 32,071 miles across October 2024, and 33,445 miles by October 2025. That averages roughly 4,181 miles per year. The jump from March 2024 to October 2024 of about 5,100 miles in seven months is the heaviest use shown; otherwise the car saw light annual coverage, with under 1,400 miles added in the year to October 2025. No advisories or defects appear across the five tests, so the history gives no signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. A clean sheet at this low mileage suggests careful or infrequent use rather than deferred consumable replacement. The October 2024 fail with no defects recorded remains unexplained in the data and warrants a check of the V5C and test station notes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection. Low mileage and long standing periods can hide perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized calipers not caught in a static MOT. Verify underbody condition for corrosion and confirm the brake system frees off after the car's lay-up periods before purchase.
