2013 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · GF13 XES

The vehicle presents a history of recurring suspension and lighting issues that suggest reactive rather than proactive maintenance patterns. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 110,418 miles, the car passed despite having the nearside front and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern of neglected consumables, as seen in the November 2024 test where rear brake pads were at the limit of wear and multiple suspension components, including rear upper ball joint dust covers, were flagged. The mileage profile of 110,418 miles over 13 years is consistent with average usage of approximately 8,500 miles per annum, yet the mechanical record shows significant wear on the lower-control suspension. In November 2022, at 92,141 miles, the vehicle failed due to corroded rear coil springs, a distorted nearside front wheel, and multiple deteriorated ball joint dust covers and anti-roll bar linkages. The persistent presence of worn suspension arm bushes and deteriorating ball joint covers across 2022 through 2024 indicates that the entire suspension assembly is reaching the end of its functional life and requires comprehensive attention. Electrical faults are also a recurring theme, with inoperative registration plate lamps and headlamps appearing in multiple tests over several years, suggesting basic upkeep is only addressed upon inspection failure. While the vehicle has passed its latest tests, the history of structural corrosion on the springs and repeated rubber seal failures indicates the car has been subjected to moisture ingress. A buyer should specifically verify the integrity of the front bushings and the condition of the rear suspension arms, as these have been consistent points of failure.
