2003 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L Petrol · LD03 VTJ

The most recent MOT on 30 July 2024 resulted in a failure at 106,880 miles, although no specific defects were recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 20 July 2023 and on 2 August 2022, indicating a generally stable maintenance record but a recent lapse that requires clarification. Mileage has risen from 98,590 miles at the start of August 2022 to 102,761 miles by July 2023 (an increase of 4,171 miles in 355 days) and to 106,880 miles by July 2024 (an increase of 4,119 miles in 375 days). Over 23 years the average is roughly 4,600 miles per year, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light duty and limited wear on consumables. A prospective buyer should verify the cause of the 2024 failure on site, focusing on brake performance, suspension bush wear, tyre tread depth, and any signs of corrosion or structural rust that may not have been captured in the MOT record. Confirm that the failure was not merely administrative and that all safety‑critical components meet current road‑worthiness standards before finalising purchase.
