2014 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · FE64 AFU

The Jaguar XF presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 September 2025 at 147,961 miles, with the DVSA record showing no defects. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, as every test that resulted in a pass recorded no advisories or faults. The two failed tests, on 9 September 2025 and 21 September 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and with no defects logged, indicate administrative or procedural anomalies rather than mechanical deterioration. Overall, the vehicle exhibits no worsening pattern in the supplied data. Mileage stands at 147,961 miles for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,330 miles per year, which is high for its age and suggests sustained use. The records show consistent annual testing each September: 129,883 miles in September 2023, 140,826 miles in September 2024, and 147,961 miles in September 2025. This reflects steady accumulation of about 10,000 to 11,000 miles between tests, with no abrupt gaps or stagnant periods. The clean defect history across these dates implies the previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard, though the unexplained fails hint at lapses in test preparation rather than neglected consumables. Given the absence of recorded advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, a buyer should not infer a fault-free mechanical condition solely from the MOT. The high mileage and 2014 manufacture mean wear on dampers, steering joints, and exhaust emissions components remains probable despite the clean sheet. We recommend a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes for rust, plus measurement of brake caliper operation and tyre tread depth, as these items degrade with use and may not trigger an MOT defect if within limits at test time.
