2021 Jaguar I-Pace Black Electric · EY71 UGG

This Jaguar I-Pace has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in the most recent tests, including the February 2026 pass at 29,945 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across three consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has undergone consistent, albeit minimal, maintenance. The latest test, just five months ago, confirms no immediate mechanical or structural concerns, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension bushes or drivetrain components. The stability of the MOT record implies previous owners adhered to basic compliance, but this does not guarantee proactive upkeep beyond statutory requirements. The recorded mileage of 29,945 miles over five years—roughly 5,989 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the I-Pace’s typical usage patterns. The largest gap between tests occurred between November 2024 (22,117 miles) and October 2025 (28,711 miles), a 6,594-mile interval over 11 months, which may indicate extended periods of inactivity or very light use. The final 1,234 miles between October 2025 and February 2026 were covered in just four months, suggesting recent activity. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, it also raises questions about fluid changes—oil, brake fluid, and coolant—all of which degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in electric vehicles due to weight distribution. The lack of advisories does not rule out degraded suspension linkages or binding calipers, which often go unnoticed until they impair handling. Front and rear brake discs should be measured for thickness and inspected for lateral run-out, as EV braking systems generate higher heat. Corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants close examination, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or coastal environments. Finally, the battery health—though not MOT-tested—should be assessed for capacity retention, as even low-mileage EVs can experience gradual degradation in their traction batteries.
