2013 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · LC62 CVV

The 2026-04-17 MOT at 103,444 miles passed, confirming the Jaguar XJ remains roadworthy, though the rear sub‑frame shows corrosion and a worn pin or bush that do not cause excessive movement. All previous tests from 2016 onward have passed without major defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 29,899 miles in the 2016 test to 103,444 miles in 2026, averaging about 7,445 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2024-05-03 test at 90,622 miles and the 2025-05-06 test at 96,219 miles shows a rapid accumulation of 5,597 miles in a single year, coinciding with a tyre tread failure that required a re‑test. Recurring issues centre on the rear braking system, where thin pads and worn discs were noted in 2022 and 2025, and on tyre wear, with tread depth falling below 1.6 mm in 2025 after being near the legal limit in 2024. Structural concerns include persistent rear sub‑frame corrosion and a worn suspension bush that have remained present across multiple tests. A buyer should examine the rear sub‑frame for rust depth, inspect the rear suspension bushes and pins for play, verify the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, and measure tyre tread depth on all four wheels. The exhaust system, coil springs, and under‑tray fitment should also be checked for corrosion, binding calipers, and any signs of structural weakness.
