2012 Jaguar Eagle 3.0L Diesel · FS04 CAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on August 28, 2025, 62,894 miles. This follows a period of consistent maintenance where the car has successfully navigated annual tests without any recorded defects. The lack of advisories in the last two years suggests that previous mechanical or structural concerns have been addressed or have not yet manifested under current operating conditions. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,894 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent throughout the vehicle's life, with a notable gap of only 3,914 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. While low mileage reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between services often increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids, which can dry out or perish due to lack of mechanical exercise. The recurring flagging of tyres worn to the legal limit between 2016 and 2023 indicates a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance until failure. Specific wear patterns noted on the nearside rear and offside front tyres in previous years suggest potential alignment issues or uneven suspension bushing wear. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, control arms, and bushes to ensure the vehicle is not tracking poorly. Given the low mileage and age of the Jaguar, the inspection must also focus on structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, which often occurs on vehicles that sit for long periods. Check the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, as low use can lead to brake components sticking. While the recent MOT records are clean, the transition from frequent tyre-related faults to a clean record warrants a thorough check of the underbody to confirm that no hidden structural decay is developing.
