2020 Jaguar I-Pace Electric · FP69 FXB

The most recent DVSA test on 6 May 2026 returned a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle presently satisfies the statutory roadworthiness criteria. Over the preceding six years the MOT record shows a consistent pattern of passes, interrupted only by a single failure in May 2023 for service‑brake efficiency and a series of tyre‑wear advisories in December 2022. The fact that the brake deficiency and the tyre warnings have not re‑appeared in the later tests suggests that remedial work was undertaken and that the overall maintenance trajectory has stabilised rather than deteriorated. At 63,546 miles the I‑Pace averages roughly 10,600 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage envelope for a six‑year‑old vehicle. The mileage does not point to excessive short‑trip abuse or chronic high‑speed running, but it does imply a reasonable amount of wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and the high‑voltage traction battery cooling system. There are no obvious mileage gaps that would indicate prolonged periods of storage, so the wear patterns are likely to be progressive rather than sudden. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system. Verify that the pedal feel is firm and that there is no pulsation, shudder or excessive travel under moderate braking, and listen for any low‑frequency groan that could betray worn discs or a binding caliper. Inspect the front and rear brake pads for remaining thickness and check the discs for scoring or uneven wear, especially since the service‑brake efficiency failure in 2023 may have been caused by glazed pads or contaminated rotors. The tyres, although not flagged in the latest MOT, were previously noted as near the legal limit; confirm that tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm on all four corners, that sidewalls are free from cracks, bulges or perished rubber, and that the tyre pressures match the manufacturer’s specification. Any uneven wear could also reveal misaligned suspension bushes or worn steering components, so a short test‑drive should be used to detect clunks when turning, a wandering feel at speed, or a noticeable pull to one side. Given the vehicle’s electric drivetrain, the high‑voltage battery health and its cooling circuit merit scrutiny. Request a recent battery state‑of‑charge and health report from Jaguar, and inquire whether the coolant has been replaced according to the service schedule, as degraded coolant can lead to premature inverter or motor overheating. Check the 12‑volt auxiliary battery for voltage under load, as a weak starter battery can cause intermittent electronic glitches. Examine the under‑carriage for any signs of corrosion, especially around the rear axle and brake caliper mounts, and ensure that all service stamps in the logbook correspond with the MOT dates, confirming that oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes have been performed at the recommended intervals. A thorough visual inspection combined with a careful drive will reveal whether the I‑Pace remains mechanically sound and ready for continued ownership.
