MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1989 Jaguar Xjs (F492 UOT) between July 2006 and October 2021.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 19 October 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (22 issues), Brakes (15 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Windscreen (6 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (6.1.2 (a))”; “Offside Front Power steering pipe/hose leaking (2.1.5 (a))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
