2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · FD60 BKX

The most recent MOT test on 28 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the history since 2022, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections without any recorded advisories or failures. This lack of noted defects suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a recent comprehensive overhaul of the vehicle's critical safety and mechanical systems. With a recorded mileage of 159,352 miles over sixteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,960 miles per year. This is a typical usage profile for a luxury saloon of this vintage, indicating regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing. However, the high absolute mileage means that high-wear consumables and drivetrain components have undergone significant cycling, increasing the likelihood that suspension components, engine mounts, and gearbox internals are approaching the end of their natural service life. Given the absence of MOT advisories, the buyer should focus on physical inspections that the standard test may overlook. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, listening for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces during a test drive. It is also essential to inspect the tyres for sidewall perishing or cracking, as rubber degrades with age regardless of the remaining tread depth. The brake system should be checked for any signs of binding calipers or uneven disc wear that could indicate hydraulic inefficiency. Finally, the buyer must verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance has been adhered to, specifically regarding the degradation of engine oils and coolant. At this mileage, the condition of the 12V battery and the charging system should be tested to ensure reliability. A thorough check of the service book for evidence of timing chain or belt replacements, depending on the specific engine variant, is critical to avoid catastrophic mechanical failure. Inspecting the underbody for any signs of surface corrosion or fluid leaks from the gearbox and engine seals will complete a comprehensive roadworthiness evaluation.
