1968 Jaguar E-Type 0.4L Petrol · FND 422F

The most recent MOT was recorded in September 2022, which means the vehicle is now significantly overdue for testing as of June 2026. While that 2022 test was a clean pass, the long gap since the last official inspection represents a significant unknown regarding the car's current roadworthiness. There is a major discrepancy in the recorded mileage that requires urgent clarification. In 2017, the vehicle was recorded at 54,316 miles, but by 2022, the figure had dropped to 34,440 miles. This suggests a potential odometer replacement, a recording error, or a change in the vehicle's components. The mechanical history shows a pattern of neglect and age-related wear around 2017. The vehicle failed on that date due to a non-functional horn, faulty stop lamps, and an ineffective windscreen wiper. More critically, there was evidence of corroded rear brake pipes and binding brakes on both the nearside front and rear. The average annual mileage is very low for a car of this age. While this typically implies light use, the mileage discrepancy makes the actual wear level ambiguous.
