2015 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · GU 129

The Jaguar XF’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-23 confirms it passed without any defects, though the record shows a curious failure at 85,216 miles just two days prior—likely a clerical error rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle’s maintenance history since 2022 demonstrates consistency, with annual tests passing cleanly at regular intervals. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, suggesting the tester did not identify any hidden concerns during these inspections. That said, the double-testing in late 2025 raises a minor red flag: either the vehicle was driven briefly between tests (just 23 miles) or the first result was invalidated for procedural reasons. The absence of defects in the final pass indicates no obvious safety-critical failures were overlooked. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2024 and 2023 tests spans 11,128 miles, covering just over a year, while the 2023 to 2022 interval covers 4,212 miles—slightly shorter, possibly due to seasonal driving habits. There are no extended periods of inactivity or rapid mileage spikes that would suggest neglect or heavy usage. The recorded mileage of 85,239 miles at the latest test reflects reasonable wear, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means no insight exists into whether critical intervals (e.g., suspension bush replacements, brake fluid flushes) were adhered to. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not directly tested by the MOT. At this mileage, the suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are rarely flagged in MOTs but can degrade handling. Brake discs and calipers, though not failed here, may exhibit uneven thickness or corrosion; binding calipers or warped discs could develop without prior warning. Structural integrity is another concern: the XF’s chassis is prone to corrosion in wheel arches and sills, so a thorough underbody inspection is essential. Finally, the lack of advisories does not preclude issues with the exhaust system, fuel injection, or electrical components—areas where intermittent faults might not trigger a fail but could affect reliability. A pre-purchase diagnostic scan would reveal any hidden error codes.
