1964 Jaguar E'type 3.8L Petrol · DUJ 618B

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2023 at 62,192 miles resulted in no no recorded defects or advisories. This streak suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance where the mechanical and structural components continue to meet DVSA requirements without the intervention of recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, indicating the car has been driven approximately 1,000 miles per year. Between September 2017 and April 2023, the vehicle covered only 2,503 miles, showing a trend of minimal usage. The 467-mile gap between the 2019 and 2020 tests suggests the car likely spends significant periods in storage or sees seasonal use. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to dryness. Given the lack of recorded mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of the structural integrity and monocoque, as the Jaguar E-Type is prone to hidden corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Because the car is driven infrequently, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and perished rubber hoses which may have cracked despite the low mileage. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing or pitting, ensuring that the low frequency of use has not resulted in internal hydraulic corrosion or uneven wear on the discs.
