2017 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0L Diesel · GF67 ABX

The vehicle presents a declining maintenance trend regarding braking components and consumables. While the October 2025 test at 53,297 miles resulted in a pass, the record shows a persistent pattern of deteriorating brake pads and pitted or scored discs. The tester flagged thin front pads and worn discs alongside a nearside front tyre nearing the legal limit. This follows a failure in October 2024 at 46,792 miles due to rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm thick, indicating that component replacement is often reactive rather than proactive. The mileage profile suggests low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year over the nine-year period. The data shows steady, incremental increases between tests, moving from 24,003 miles in September 2020 to the current 53,297 miles in October 2025. This low-mileage usage pattern often correlates with the observed corrosion and pitting on the brake discs, as vehicles driven fewer miles frequently suffer from surface oxidation on braking surfaces due to less frequent, high-temperature friction. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored discs across the 2023, 2025, and 2022 tests suggest that while pads are being replaced, the discs themselves are not consistently being renewed alongside them. This can lead to uneven pad wear and reduced braking efficiency. The tester also noted a deteriorating rear registration plate in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which is a minor cosmetic issue but demonstrates a tendency to overlook non-mechanical consumables. Beyond the brakes, the history of worn tyres in 2021 and 2025 indicates that tyre maintenance is handled on an as-needed basis. Given the low mileage and the specific mention of pitted discs and worn edges on tyres, an inspection of the suspension geometry and wheel alignment is advisable to ensure the uneven tyre wear is not caused by underlying component failure.
