2009 Jaguar XJ 2.7L Diesel · GV09 EPN

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-04 passed but noted several immediate safety concerns. The specific issues noted on the most recent inspection include an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp, the offside front outer tyre being worn close to the legal limit on the edge, and the nearside rear tyre being obviously under inflated. A recurring mechanical pattern involves brake discs, as they were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in the 2025 inspection, although they were not considered seriously weakened. The trend in the MOT history shows a mixed pattern; there was a failure in 2025, followed by passes, with the most recent inspection highlighting immediate tyre and lighting issues. This suggests a stable but not necessarily improving condition, as immediate safety items were flagged in the latest report. The mileage of 76,789 miles for a 2009 model places the vehicle at approximately 4,517 miles per year, which is considered low for its age. This low mileage could indicate lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle has been stationary. A buyer should inspect the tyres immediately, paying close attention to the tread depth and pressure of all four tyres, especially the nearside rear tyre. Secondly, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the history indicates wear on these components. Finally, verify the functionality of all exterior lighting, specifically the offside rear registration plate lamp.
