2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · K7 YSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 175,650 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate re-testing following failures. In both March 2026 and March 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed just one week later at the same mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing specific defects identified by the tester to maintain compliance, rather than allowing faults to persist into subsequent years. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 175,650 miles represents an average of approximately 9,245 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between January 2024 and March 2025, where the car covered only 24 miles in over fourteen months. However, the mileage then increased rapidly by over 700 miles leading up to the March 2026 tests. This usage pattern indicates that while the car has seen consistent mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long periods of standing may cause rubber seals and bushings to perish despite low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and braking system, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Jaguars. Given the recent failures followed by immediate passes, it is vital to check for signs of weeping calipers or perished control arm bushes that have triggered the initial failures. The lack of structural advisories in the history is positive sign, but a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion is necessary to ensure that the long periods of standing have not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
