1992 Jaguar XJR 4.0L Petrol · J862 NLM

The most recent MOT on 11 November 2022 returned a clean pass with no advisories or defects, indicating the vehicle met all statutory requirements at that time. However, this was over three and a half years ago, and there is no subsequent test to confirm its current state. The overall pattern from the available records is one of stability, with no signs of recurring or escalating issues. The mileage history reveals a vehicle that has been used very sparingly over the past 15 years. Between March 2009 and November 2022, a span of 13 years and 8 months, the odometer increased by only 10,371 miles. The majority of that growth occurred between 2009 and 2010 (8,559 miles), followed by a dramatic slowdown. From 2010 to 2022, the total increase was just 1,812 miles, with only 1 mile between 2013 and 2015 and 350 miles between 2015 and 2022. This suggests the vehicle was likely stored or used only for very short trips for a decade or more. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should be cautious. Long periods of inactivity can cause perished suspension bushings, dried-out engine and transmission seals, corroded brake components, and flat-spotted tyres. The 1992 Jaguar XJR has a complex rear suspension and a high-performance engine that may have suffered from lack of use. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should focus on checking for oil leaks, suspension bushing deterioration, brake caliper and disc condition, and the integrity of the cooling system and belts. The lack of recent MOT history means any issues that have developed since 2022 are unknown.
