2004 Jaguar X-Type 2.0L Diesel · LC04 YAD

The 2004 Jaguar X‑Type is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 June 2022 at 133,684 miles, but the test recorded minor defects including a fluctuating front service brake, a worn and pitted front brake disc, misted headlamps, corroded seat‑belt anchorage areas and outer sills. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, with no clear worsening or improving pattern despite recurring brake wear and rust issues. Mileage has increased steadily from 114,113 miles in May 2015 to 133,684 miles in June 2022, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 22‑year age. The intervals between successive tests show regular annual usage, with no extended periods of inactivity or abrupt mileage surges, indicating consistent use. A buyer should therefore inspect the front brake system for disc scoring, pad condition and caliper binding, as the record repeatedly flags worn discs and fluctuating brakes. Examination of suspension components, particularly bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, is advisable given the persistent outer‑sill and seat‑belt anchorage corrosion. Tyre condition, especially inner‑edge wear, headlamp aim and alignment, and any signs of structural rust on the sills should also be verified. While the vehicle meets the minimum roadworthiness standards, the combination of brake wear, rust‑prone structural areas and tyre tread concerns suggests that a thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on these items is essential before finalising any purchase.
