2022 Jaguar XF R-Dynamic S D Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Diesel · LN22 WRA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 5 March 2026 at 42,320 miles passed without defects, confirming it currently meets UK roadworthiness standards. The preceding test cycle, however, reveals an unresolved issue: the car failed on 8 February 2025 for an inoperative or malfunctioning engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), despite passing the following day at the same mileage. While the MIL fault was not repeated in the subsequent 2026 test, this suggests either a temporary fix or a deferred repair that may not have fully addressed the underlying cause. The absence of further defects in the latest test indicates no immediate structural or safety-critical failures, but the unresolved MIL fault warrants further investigation—particularly given the hybrid-electric nature of the R-Dynamic model, where powertrain diagnostics can be complex. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 10,580 miles annually, which aligns with typical patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps or rapid spikes in mileage, though the record only spans four tests over roughly 18 months. The 2025 test dates (8 February and 10 February) are unusually close together, suggesting either a rushed retest or a temporary resolution to the MIL issue. Without earlier MOTs, it’s impossible to gauge long-term maintenance consistency, but the lack of repeated failures on other components implies basic upkeep has been maintained—though the MIL fault remains an outlier. A buyer should prioritise a thorough diagnostic check of the hybrid powertrain, focusing on the MIL fault from February 2025. Given the failure was related to engine diagnostics, the vehicle’s hybrid battery system, high-voltage wiring, or engine control unit should be scrutinised for proper servicing or repairs. The suspension, brakes, and exhaust emissions—common areas for MOT failures—appear to have passed without issue, but a visual inspection for corrosion (particularly in the AWD components) and suspension bush wear is advisable. The lack of recent failures does not preclude hidden wear, so attention to fluid levels (coolant, brake, differential) and tyre tread uniformity would be prudent. The most critical concern remains the unresolved MIL fault, which could indicate either a partial repair or an ongoing issue that may resurface.
