2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · JD10 AVS

The Jaguar XJ’s recent MOT history demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 12 December 2025 (52,707 miles) passing with no defects. This aligns with prior tests in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021—all passing with no recorded faults. The maintenance trend is stable, indicating adherence to scheduled checks and absence of recurring mechanical or safety issues. At 16 years old with 52,707 miles, the vehicle’s mileage equates to approximately 3,294 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests limited use or periods of storage. Mileage progression is steady between tests: from 15,905 in 2021 to 25,948 in 2022, 37,206 in 2023, 46,549 in 2024, and 52,707 in 2025. No abrupt jumps or gaps imply consistent ownership patterns, though prolonged inactivity may have accelerated component degradation such as battery health or suspension bush deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or perishing, given the vehicle’s age and low mileage. Brakes, while passing MOT tests, may require assessment for pad hardening or caliper binding from infrequent use. Structural integrity—particularly sills, wheel arches, and chassis—should be examined for rust, as Jaguar’s aluminium-intensive construction can corrode over time in damp storage conditions. Additionally, verify exhaust system integrity for stress cracks or corrosion, and test drivetrain components like CV joints for seized movement from disuse. Electrical systems, including wiring harnesses and seals, may exhibit age-related fragility. While MOT records show no faults, these areas warrant close scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability.
