2014 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · JC03 DOL

The 2014 Jaguar XK presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 16,975 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening conditions and no outstanding mechanical concerns across the documented history. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. From the 20 October 2021 test at 14,568 miles to the 8 October 2025 test at 16,975 miles, the car covered just 2,407 miles over four years, averaging roughly 600 miles annually. Annual increments stay consistently low: 827 miles between 2022 and 2023, 703 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 571 miles between 2024 and 2025. Such low accumulation points to a car kept in storage or used sparingly, with no gaps or sudden mileage spikes in the record. A buyer should still arrange an in-person inspection of components prone to deterioration through standing rather than wear. Low-mileage Jaguars of this era commonly develop perished suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, and degraded flexible brake hoses from prolonged inactivity. The MOT record flags none of these, but the tester cannot assess hidden structural corrosion or fluid condition from a pass with no defects. Check the underbody for structural rust, verify brake caliper operation for binding after the car sat unused, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the original rubbers may have aged beyond safe service life. The clean history implies a careful keeper, yet the low mileage demands scrutiny of consumables and fluids that test centres do not routinely fail on sight.
