2003 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · LC03 LKG

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on July 24, 2025, 82,710 miles. This recent result shows no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner has successfully addressed prior mechanical issues. While the history shows failures in earlier years, the trend toward zero-advisory passes suggests that the current maintenance approach is proactive and the vehicle is presently being maintained to meet DVSA standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 1,907 miles, and it added another 1,309 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This pattern suggests the car undergoes infrequent use or long periods of storage. Low mileage on a older Jaguar often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals, bushings, and tyres, which can age out regardless of tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the causes of the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the records provided do not specify the exact mechanical faults for those dates. Given the low usage, it is vital to check for seized brake calipers or perished brake hoses, which are common when vehicles sit stationary. Inspect the suspension geometry for cracks in the control arm bushings and leaking dampers, as these components are prone to dry rot over two decades. Examine the chassis for structural corrosion on the subframes and mounting points, as low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation on older steel.
