2006 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · E13 LAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 83,367 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged multiple immediate issues including damaged tyres, thin front brake pads, and a failed stop lamp. This pattern follows a recurring trend where components are only addressed after they trigger an MOT failure, seen during the failures in 2024 and 2025. At 83,367 miles, this twenty-year-old Jaguar has low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with the mileage rising from 75,659 miles in February 2024 to 83,367 miles by early 2026. However, the low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and seals that age regardless of distance, which is evident in the persistent issues with suspension dust covers and tyre wear noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows a clear history of deteriorated ball joint boots and dust covers across the rear and front assemblies. The recurring failures for tyres worn on the outer edges suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified. Furthermore, the braking system requires close scrutiny; the tester has repeatedly flagged thin pads and worn rear discs across multiple years, indicating that service intervals for consumables components be being neglected.
