1995 Jaguar XJ 3.2L Petrol · J4 AGV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on July 10, 2026, with no recorded defects. This represents a stable trend compared to the previous test in April 15, 2026, which identified several mechanical and structural concerns. While the most recent inspection showed no immediate failures, the previous record indicates ongoing issues that require monitoring to prevent future MOT failures. At a recorded mileage of 76,804 miles, this 31-year-old Jaguar has averaged approximately 2,478 miles per year. This low level of annual usage suggests the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear. The gap between the April and July 2026 tests is only three months, indicating the vehicle is currently being tested frequently despite the low total mileage. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity regarding the subframes. The April 2026 test flagged corrosion on both the front and rear subframe mounting prescribed areas. Although not considered excessive at that time, corrosion on these components typically progresses over time and can lead to structural failure if not treated. The advisory for a rear oil leak also necessitates investigation to ensure the leak remains non-excessive and does not affect the differential or surrounding braking components. The nearside front tyre was flagged for cracking or perishing in April 2026, a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where the rubber dries out due to age rather than tread wear. Checking the age and sidew condition of all tyres is essential to ensure they have not become structurally compromised. Given the age of the car and the reported corrosion, the suspension bushes and rubber hoses should also be examined for signs of rot or perished material. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
