2014 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · LO14 LBY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its four most recent MOT tests. The latest inspection on 25 March 2026 at 30,553 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory and environmental requirements. This follows a period of consistent success starting from 2022, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns were addressed and have since been maintained. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,546 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 6,181 miles, reflecting a consistent but low-frequency usage pattern of roughly 1,500 miles annually. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the two-year gap between the 2019 and 2021 tests suggests periods where the vehicle likely sat stationary, which often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-use storage. The 2021 test at 22,669 miles flagged thin rear inner brake pads, and the 2018 record noted a worn offside rear tyre, indicating that previous owners occasionally neglected consumable items until they reached limits. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake caliper seizing or disc corrosion and to inspect tyres for sidewall cracking and suspension bushings. The 2017 failure regarding the Supplementary Restraint System lamp was resolved, but the electronic airbag system should be verified to ensure no intermittent faults remain.
