2009 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · GV09 EPJ

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test recorded on 2026-06-17. The vehicle has not been tested since 2025-01-18, resulting in a gap of 9,251 miles which is consistent with its age of approximately 17 years. This significant accumulation of mileage, particularly in the first 10,000 miles, suggests that the vehicle has experienced rapid consumption of mechanical components and likely a lack of routine maintenance, which is a critical indicator of reduced roadworthiness. The maintenance record reveals a complex history of failures, with the most recent test on 2026-02-02 passing only after minor, non-structural issues such as an oil leak and a worn tyre. However, the subsequent test on 2026-01-26 failed due to a severe lack of roadworthiness. This failure was triggered by a combination of issues including a significant suspension arm ball joint dust cover, a worn upper suspension pin, a worn rear wheel bearing, and inoperative registration plate lamps. The fact that the vehicle failed on the same day as its second test indicates that the mechanical integrity of the undercarriage has deteriorated, likely due to the rapid mileage accumulation since 2025-01-18. The recurring faults, particularly the suspension and wheel bearing issues, point to a pattern of progressive wear that has not been adequately addressed by the owner. Given the current status of failing, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify the source of the suspension and wheel bearing play, as well as the condition of the front and rear sub-frams and wheel bearings. The failure to pass the MOT on 2026-02-02 implies that the vehicle has not been serviced since 2025-01-18, meaning the owner has likely not been aware of the critical wear on these components. The buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as the history indicates a lack of regular brake inspections, which is a major risk factor. In addition, the buyer must inspect the structural integrity of the underbody and check for corrosion on the sub-frams and wheel bearings, as the failure on 2026-01-26 was caused by a lack of roadworthiness due to these components. The vehicle may require immediate suspension adjustment, wheel bearing replacement, and brake overhaul to ensure continued safety and roadworthiness.
