Our Verdict
A viable example of the XKR, provided th
When reviewing this vehicle, specifically ask for evidence that the 2023 advisories—including the exhaust leak, corroded brake hose ferrules, and deteriorated rear suspension ball joint dust covers—were repaired. The 2025 MOT specifically highlighted corrosion on rear suspension components, so ensure this has been treated or replaced rather than just noted.
Given the 4.2L engine and the age of the vehicle, a full service history is essential. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the windscreen, which was noted as damaged in the June 2026 test, and the potential need for suspension bushings, a known weak point for this model.
Owning a 4.2L petrol XKR involves significant running costs. Fuel economy will be low, particularly in urban environments, and the vehicle falls into a high CO2 tax bracket. Insurance groups for this performance model are typically high, reflecting its power and repair costs.
Annual maintenance for a Jaguar of this vintage can be unpredictable, especially regarding the air suspension and braking systems. Expect a high annual spend to keep the vehicle roadworthy and performing correctly.
The most critical areas for inspection are the rear suspension and braking system. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on rear suspension components (2025) and deteriorated ball joint dust covers (2023); these should be physically inspected for current condition. Check the brake hoses and discs, as pitting and corrosion were flagged in 2023.
Additionally, inspect the windscreen for the damage noted in the 2026 MOT to determine if a full replacement is required. Finally, check for any signs of the exhaust leak mentioned in 2023 to ensure the system is now sealed and operating efficiently.
This 2007 black Jaguar XKR has covered 94,808 miles, which is above the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent testing pattern, though it has been flagged for several wear-and-tear issues, including suspension corrosion and brake component deterioration. While it has passed its most recent tests, the records indicate a need for ongoing maintenance of the chassis and braking system.
The XKR has an average MOT pass rate of 82.1%, with suspension arms being one of the most common failure points across the model range.
