2017 Jaguar XF 2.0L Diesel · KA04 ALY

The Jaguar XF’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-22 at 77,548 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded across the past four tests. This consistency suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the absence of advisories or faults does not preclude underlying issues—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which often fail without pre-warning. The final pass in December 2025 aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle, indicating no urgent compliance concerns. However, the 2024 test date (58,107 miles) appears anomalous, as both a pass and a fail are recorded on the same day, which may reflect a data entry error or a brief re-test after an oversight. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 8,600 miles annually—from 49,538 miles in January 2023 to 77,548 miles in December 2025—falls within typical usage for its age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage that would imply neglect or excessive wear, though the 12-month intervals between tests suggest regular compliance rather than proactive servicing. The lack of intermediate service records means critical fluid changes (e.g., brake fluid, differential oil) cannot be confirmed, which could impact long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Focus on the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade silently and can lead to handling issues or uneven tyre wear. The braking system warrants scrutiny, particularly the rear calipers and discs, as binding or uneven wear is a common failure mode in high-mileage Jaguars. Structural corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be checked, as this model is prone to rust progression in wet conditions. While the MOT history shows no failures, these components are beyond the scope of a basic test and may require replacement soon.
