2018 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · FX68 ULV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred attention to consumable components. The most recent test in November 2025 at 31,006 miles flagged multiple advisories related to the front lower suspension arm bushes and rearside tyre condition. While the car passed, the persistence of these issues across several years suggests that components are only addressed when they approach the point of failure rather than as part of a proactive service schedule. At 31,006 miles over eight years, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 3,876 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing with mileage intervals of roughly 2,800 to 5,000 miles between tests. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to rubber-based components drying out due to age, as evidenced by the frequent cracking and perishing notes recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2025. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the lower control arm pins and bushes have been noted as worn in both 2022 and 2025. These bushings are prone to tearing and will eventually lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The recurring history of tyre advisories involving cuts, nails, and low tread depth indicates a history of neglecting basic fitment. You should verify the current age and condition of all four tyres and check for sidewall cracking, as the low mileage does not protect the rubber from degradation over eight years.
