1994 Jaguar XJS 4.0L Petrol · L265 FEL

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent roadworthiness profile according to the available MOT records. The most recent test on 21 June 2025 at 138,225 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a continuous string of clean passes dating back to at least June 2022, suggesting a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical or structural failures during the recorded period. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The recorded data shows the car has covered only 1,626 miles between June 2022 and June 2025. This averages out to approximately 542 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the 4,320 miles per year calculated across the vehicle's 32-year lifespan. Such low annual usage often indicates the car is used for occasional leisure trips rather than daily commuting, though it can also imply periods of extended storage. While the MOT history shows no failures, the low annual mileage and the vehicle's age require a thorough physical inspection of age-sensitive components. Low usage often leads to perished rubber components, so a buyer should closely inspect the condition of suspension bushes, engine mounts, and various coolant hoses for signs of cracking or degradation. Given the Jaguar XJS's design, checking the structural integrity of the underside for corrosion is essential, as MOT testers focus primarily on visible surface rust rather than deep-seated structural decay. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs or pads suggests no immediate issues with binding calipers or uneven wear. However, because the car has covered very little distance recently, the buyer should verify that the braking system has been serviced to prevent corrosion on the discs and that the fuel system has been maintained to avoid issues common in vehicles that sit for long periods.
