2013 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · FN13 WTR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of neglected consumable upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 149,478 miles, it had failed just one day prior at 149,462 miles. This failure was due to critical tyre defects, including exposed cords and internal edge wear on three tyres. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed safety issues when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 149,478 miles over 13 years, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a luxury saloon. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,300 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This consistent usage places significant stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the complex independent suspension and braking systems. A buyer must focus closely on the rear sub-frame, which has been flagged for corrosion since at least 2023 and remains on the 2026 advisory. While currently described as not yet seriously weakened, structural rust on a load-bearing component like this will eventually require expensive replacement if it progresses. The history also shows recurring issues with the rear brakes, including binding calipers, thin pads, and worn discs noted between 2023 and 2025. The misting on shock absorbers noted in 2023 suggests the suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life given the high mileage.
