LC06 ORF MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Jaguar Xk (LC06 ORF) between January 2024 and February 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (15 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Windscreen (3 issues), Brakes (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 17 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purchasing this high-mileage Jaguar XK. While the most recent MOT was a pass, the vehicle's high mileage and history of failures necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection.
Given the high mileage of 176,520, your priority should be verifying a comprehensive service history. For a 4.2L engine of this age, you must confirm that major timing chain and cooling system maintenance has been performed. Do not rely solely on the MOT pass; an MOT is a basic safety check and does not confirm the mechanical integrity of the engine or gearbox.
When negotiating, use the recorded MOT failures as a point of discussion. While the specific defects weren't listed in the recent records, the frequency of failures suggests recurring issues. Ask the seller for receipts for any work carried out between the failed tests and the successful passes in 2025 and 2026.
Running this 4196cc petrol engine will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption consistent with a large-capacity grand tourer, and insurance groups for this model are typically high due to both engine size and performance.
Maintenance costs for a Jaguar of this era can be substantial, especially regarding suspension and engine components. Given the high mileage, you should budget for more frequent repairs to wear-and-tear items. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be high, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and a significant maintenance contingency.
You should pay close attention to the suspension system. Aggregate data for this model indicates that ball joints, suspension arms, and anti-roll bars are the most common MOT failure points. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, these components are likely to be near the end of their service life.
Additionally, inspect the vehicle for any signs of fluid leaks, particularly around the large 4.2L engine. Because the MOT history shows failures occurring within short intervals (such as the 2025 and 2026 failures), check that any recent repairs were robust and not just temporary fixes to pass the test.
This 2006 blue Jaguar XK features a large 4.2L petrol engine and has covered 176,520 miles as of February 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures in both 2025 and 2026, despite passing shortly after those failures. The mileage is substantially higher than the model average of 2,625 miles per year, suggesting heavy usage.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.3% MOT pass rate, with common failures frequently involving suspension components like ball joints and anti-roll bars.
