2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · KX60 AKF

The 2010 Jaguar XF has passed its three most recent MOT tests, with the latest on 19 July 2025 at the recorded mileage showing an overall pass, though the history contains two failures across the documented period and a recurring pattern of advisories that warrants careful attention. The trend is mixed but not deteriorating: the only failure since 2023 was on 27 June 2024, caused by an offside front headlamp dipped beam defect classified as Major, alongside a nearside front position lamp failure noted as a PR (pass after rectification) at the 15 March 2023 test. These lighting issues suggest basic electrical upkeep has been intermittent, though the 2025 pass indicates these were remedied at the time. The advisory list, however, tells a more revealing story about underlying wear. The vehicle has covered roughly 8,600 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan, which sits within normal range for its age and indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing. The gap between the March 2023 test and the June 2024 entry is approximately fifteen months, during which the mileage would have risen steadily given typical driving patterns, though the precise figure at each test is not disclosed beyond the latest 138,346-mile reading. The 2025 test was conducted only days under a year after the 2024 pass, consistent with the standard annual MOT cycle. No irregular mileage jumps are evident from the record provided, but the cumulative effect of 138,346 miles on a luxury vehicle of this vintage places considerable demand on suspension, braking, and drivetrain components. Rear coil spring corrosion is the most persistent concern, appearing as an advisory in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with the most recent entry noting corrosion on both sides. This progressive deterioration is typical of vehicles exposed to winter road salt over many years and will eventually require replacement, likely alongside associated suspension arms. The 2024 test also flagged a worn nearside rear suspension arm pin or bush, and by 2025 the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover had severely deteriorated, indicating the rear suspension assembly is approaching the point where proactive refurbishment would be prudent. Brake wear advisories from March 2023 noted thin pads front and rear along with pitted front discs, and while no further brake advisories appear, a buyer should physically inspect pad material and disc condition given the mileage. The front oil leak noted in 2025, described as not excessive, should be monitored for progression. Finally, the recurring offside rear registration plate lamp defect appearing as a Minor across multiple tests suggests a simple bulb or wiring issue that has been left unaddressed between tests rather than resolved properly. Buying score: 42, risk level: High.
