2017 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · K26 OGS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 64,003 miles revealed multiple failures related to tyre condition and wear. Both the offside and nearside front tyres showed significant inner-edge wear, indicating a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bush components. While the car passed, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures suggests the owner only addresses these when they approach legal limits. At 64,003 miles over nine years, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 7,111 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a luxury executive saloon. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,300 miles driven between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,000 miles recorded between 2025 and 2026. This steady interval suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which is preferable for preventing the degradation of rubber components and seals that often occurs with long periods of standing time. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry and bushings, as the uneven tyre wear noted in both 2024 and 2026 points to a persistent misalignment or mechanical component failure. The central exhaust leak identified in 2025 should also be verified to ensure the repair was effective and not merely indicative of deeper corrosion on the manifold or exhaust hangers. Additionally, the previous missing central rear seat belt buckle in 2025 highlights a lapse in attention to interior safety equipment, necessitating a thorough check of all safety restraints and electronic sensors before purchase.
