2014 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · F6 APR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in proactive maintenance. While it passed the test in April 2026 at 37,446 miles, it initially failed due to an improperly aligned offside front headlamp and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These issues were rectified immediately to secure the pass, maintaining a generally stable trend following the clean records seen between 2022 and 2025. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,120 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the December 2022 test at 33,259 miles and the January 2024 test at 34,469 miles, representing only 1,210 miles covered over thirteen months. This pattern suggests the car has been stored or left stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term lack of use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end suspension and braking system. The nearside front tyre showing uneven wear in the 2026 test suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a close look. Given the low usage and stationary periods, inspect the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit idle. Additionally, verify the under tray mentioned in the records for any cracks or loose mounting to ensure it is not dragging against structural components.
