2014 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · GD14 AET

The 2014 Jaguar XF’s most recent MOT test on April 30, 2025, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 98,029 miles. The absence of failures or advisories across the last four tests suggests a stable maintenance history, though the duplicate entry for May 2024—one pass, one fail—appears anomalous and may indicate a clerical error rather than a recurring mechanical issue. The vehicle’s current MOT is just under a year old, which is acceptable but not optimal given its age and mileage; the next due date would be May 2026, leaving it exposed to potential undetected wear for nearly eight months. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 8,169 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (around 5,300 miles in a year) is slightly lower but not alarming. There is no evidence of extended periods of disuse, which could have exacerbated issues like suspension degradation or corrosion. However, the lack of advisories or defects over time does not preclude gradual wear on high-stress components such as coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake calipers, which are common points of failure in this model. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The brakes, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for signs of rust penetration or frame damage, as Jaguar XFs from this era are susceptible to corrosion in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive rust, as failing emissions tests are not uncommon in this model due to catalytic converter or sensor failures.
