2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · FE10 EWL

The vehicle presents a generally consistent maintenance history, with specific attention required regarding the braking system. In the most recent test in March 2024 at 63,596 miles, the car passed without major defects, though the tester noted the rear brake pads were beginning to thin. This follows a finding from June 2022 at 52,411 miles, where the front brake discs were flagged as being worn and scored. While these issues did not result in failures, the persistence of surface wear suggests the braking components are nearing their service limit and may require imminent replacement to maintain optimal stopping performance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2010 registration, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady, slow progression from 42,715 miles in 2019 to 63,596 miles in 2024. Such low usage often indicates less strain on mechanical assemblies like the suspension bushes and engine components, but it increases the risk of corrosion and dry seal failure. The 2021 test specifically highlighted that sill and underbody covers prevented a full inspection of certain structural areas, which is a common factor for this model but necessitates a physical check of the lower integrity for hidden rust. Overall, the vehicle shows a stable trend with no major structural or major mechanical failures recorded over the last five years. The primary concerns are standard consumable wear on the brake discs and pads. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the underbody beneath the protective covers to ensure that low-mileage usage has not masked significant de-corrosion on the structural frame.
