2013 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · JGK 1Y

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the December 2025 test at 71,161 miles. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have apparently been addressed. While the 2024 test revealed specific defects, the most recent record suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults once they are identified. At 13 years old, the recorded 71,161 miles represent a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,500 miles. The mileage progression is consistent over the recorded years, with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 to 2025. This low-mile profile generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-use vehicles are often susceptible to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which aligns with the specific issues seen in the history. An in-person inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly due to the recurring deterioration of the ball joint dust covers. These components were flagged at 65,606 miles in 2023 and again at 69,272 miles in 2024 before being resolved. A buyer should verify that there is no remaining grease leakage or play in the upper suspension arm ball joints to ensure the repair was thorough. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding defective wiper blades is a minor consumable issue, but checking the state of the wiper arms and glass is prudent given the vehicle's age.
