2012 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · EX12 PLU

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 27,561 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This performance suggests the vehicle has remained in a good condition without the mechanical or structural degradation typically seen in older luxury salans. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 5,086 miles, showing a pattern of infrequent use or long-term storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests mask issues related to rubber-based parts. The consistency of the annual testing dates suggests the vehicle has been kept on a regular schedule of care despite the low distance recorded on the odometer. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stasis rather than mileage. It is essential to inspect the rubber bushings, suspension bushings, and brake lines for cracking or perishishing, which occurs frequently when vehicles sit stationary for long periods. The buyer should also check for brake caliper binding or seized pistons, as low use can lead to corrosion on the braking surfaces. Additionally, verifying the structural integrity for underbody corrosion is vital to ensure that the low mileage has not hidden underlying environmental damage to the chassis.
