2019 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · DS19 NHY

The most recent MOT test on 17 April 2026 confirms the Jaguar E-Pace remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 61,652 miles. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows a stable trend over the past three tests, with only minor, non-recurring issues—such as the 2024 seatbelt webbing fault—which suggests no persistent mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions indicates the vehicle has been kept in a functional state, though the 2023 tyre-related defects hint at a period of neglect. Buyers should note that the latest test occurred just three months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage progression of approximately 8,800 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—covering 8,478 miles in just over a year—implies either intensive driving or a temporary lapse in MOT compliance. The 2023 test at 33,071 miles stands out as the only interval with multiple tyre faults, including a near-legal tread on the nearside front and perishing rear tyres, alongside a nail in the offside front. This suggests either poor tyre rotation, underinflation, or delayed replacement during that period. The subsequent tests show no recurrence of such issues, indicating corrective action was taken. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres for uneven wear, embedded debris, or signs of perishing, particularly on the nearside front and rear axles. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and struts—should be examined for leaks, corrosion, or excessive play, as these are common wear items not always flagged in MOTs. The brakes, while never failing an MOT, warrant checking for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or excessive disc wear, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. The 2024 seatbelt webbing issue, though minor, warrants confirmation that no further fraying or damage has occurred.
