FH15 ULW MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2015 Jaguar Xe (FH15 ULW) between July 2023 and July 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 08 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (11 issues), Tyres (8 issues), Lighting (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 21 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Electronic braking system warning device indicates a fault (1.7 (b))”; “Electronic stability control warning lamp indicates a fault (7.12 (e))”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Approach this 2015 Jaguar XE diesel with caution due to a recent MOT failure showing serious braking and structural corrosion issues. Although it passed one day later after rectification, the underlying condition suggests deferred maintenance that warrants thorough inspection and price negotiation.
Given the July 2026 failure, insist on evidence that all listed defects were properly rectified — new front tyres, rear brake discs and pads, ABS/ESC fault diagnosis, and headlamp adjustment. The both front tyres being over 10 years old at failure suggests the car may have sat unused or been neglected on consumables, so review the full service history for regularity and confirm timing belt/chain and diesel emissions system servicing.
As a 2.0-litre diesel registered in June 2015, this XE falls in a later Euro 6 emissions band but still faces ULEZ/compliance scrutiny in some cities; annual road tax is typically around £20-£35 for private use. Insurance group for the XE diesel is generally 25-35, meaning premiums of roughly £400-£700 depending on postcode and driver history.
Physically inspect the front and rear sub-frames for corrosion extent beyond the 'not seriously weakened' advisory — the 2026 MOT noted both, and this can progress quickly on UK roads. Check the rear brake hoses for ferrule corrosion (advised on both sides in 2026) and confirm new rear discs/pads are fitted as the failure cited heavily corroded discs and thin pads.
This white 2015 Jaguar XE 2.0 diesel (FH15ULW) shows 49,506 miles as of its July 2026 MOT pass, having covered only ~5,600 miles in the past year. The July 2026 MOT failed on multiple grounds including both front tyres over 10 years old, a torn nearside front tyre, ABS and stability control warnings, and below-requirement parking brake efficiency. Prior MOTs from 2023-2025 flagged progressive tyre perishing, brake disc scoring, and minor sub-frame corrosion that has now been formally noted as worsened.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Jaguar XE, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history showing progressive brake and corrosion advisories.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR XE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 2.0 Ingenium Diesel Timing Chain Stretch & Plastic Guide Rattle(Serious)
The rear-mounted single-row timing chains on 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines stretch due to extended 21k-mile oil change schedules. The plastic chain guides fracture, causing severe rattling from the rear of the engine and imminent valve contact requiring an engine-out rebuild.
- Diesel Oil Dilution & Interrupted DPF Regeneration Turbo Wear(Serious)
Frequent short journeys interrupt active DPF regeneration cycles, causing unburnt diesel to wash down the cylinder walls into the engine sump. Thinning oil destroys the ceramic balance shaft bearings and turbocharger thrust bearings.
- Turbocharger Electronic Variable-Nozzle Actuator Jam(Serious)
The electronic stepper motor actuator mounted to the turbocharger develops internal gear wear or thermal solder cracking, sticking the variable-geometry vanes and causing sudden loss of boost.
- InControl Touch / Touch Pro Infotainment Screen Freezing & Blackout(Moderate)
The central touchscreen system suffers from memory leaks and firmware bugs, leading to frozen navigation displays, black reversing camera screens, and dropped smartphone Bluetooth connections.
- Rear Integral-Link Lower Suspension Hydrobush Creaking & Tearing(Moderate)
The aluminum integral link rear suspension bushes dry out and split, causing loud squeaking and creaking over speed humps and allowing rear-axle tramlining on rutted motorways.
