2018 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · FE68 PLV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes following a single failure. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 September 2025 at 126,658 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the vehicle failed its test on 8 September 2023 at 100,979 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified issues were addressed promptly and effectively. The mileage data reflects a consistent high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 15,800 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. Between the September 2022 test at 79,076 miles and the September 2024 test at 114,490 miles, the vehicle covered over 35,000 miles, representing a significant surge of 17,000 miles annually. This rapid accumulation is typical of long-distance motorway use, which often accelerates wear on drivetrain components and bushings compared to lower-mileage city driving. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on the suspension geometry and structural integrity. The high-frequency use places immense stress on coil springs, control arm bushes, and dampers, which often show signs of premature degradation or tearing at this mileage. Although the record shows no recent advisories for corrosion, the age justifies a thorough check of the underbody for exhaust thinning and caliper binding to ensure the braking system has not reached the end of its service life.
