2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Petrol · G8 XFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 May 2026 at 68,423 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving as previous mechanical issues regarding the suspension and braking systems have been addressed. While the 2025 record showed vulnerabilities, the clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that the current owner has responded to previous advisories and failures effectively. The mileage profile is notably low for a 16-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 4,276 miles per year. This low usage suggests limited mechanical wear, but it often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals due to inactivity. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,800 miles driven between June 2025 and May 2026, and another 6,400 miles in the year prior. This steady rate of travel suggests the car is used regularly rather than being left stationary for long periods. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, as the June 2025 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins. Although these were noted as not yet having excessive movement at that time, rubber components are prone to cracking on low-mile vehicles. The buyer should also verify the rear brake system to ensure the failure in April 2024 regarding thin pads was fully rectified and that the anti-roll bar linkage, which showed deterioration in 2023, remains structurally sound. The tester should also check the windscreen washer system, which previously caused a failure in 2024. Given the age of the vehicle, a close look at surface corrosion on the undercarriage is necessary, even if the 2026 record shows no structural defects. Low-mile cars of this era often hide hidden dry leaks or perished bushings that do not always trigger a standard MOT inspection failure.
