1993 Daimler XJ 4.0L Petrol · H7 LFD

The Daimler XJ presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 70,524 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the five available MOT entries from 2021 to 2025. The recorded mileage confirms very light use for a 33-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 65,640 miles in July 2021 to 70,524 miles by August 2025, a total of 4,884 miles over four years, averaging just over 1,200 miles annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data; each test falls within a consistent twelve-month cycle and every entry shows zero advisories or failures. Such a sparse and clean record implies the previous keeper stored the car for long periods and kept basic statutory testing current without neglect of test requirements. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Low mileage combined with long standing invites perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corroded brake discs through lack of use. The XJ's monocoque structure demands a close check for structural rust beneath sills and subframes despite clean test outcomes. Verify the service history matches the low mileage and confirm fluid changes occurred regardless of use. The absence of advisories suggests no immediate mechanical risk, but a 1993 saloon requires hands-on assessment of consumables and hidden corrosion before purchase.
