2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · LR16 MJK

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 29 January 2026 at 117,368 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day which listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle maintained a clean record across all previous annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 86,993 miles and January 2026 at 117,368 miles, the car covered 30,375 miles, showing a steady accumulation profile rather than long periods of neglect or excessive bursts of use. This suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular driving, which is often beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components compared to low-mileage cars that sit stationary. While the MOT history is clear of structural advisories or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components common to high-mileage Jaguar models. Given the vehicle has surpassed 117,000 miles, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue is necessary. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding, as the MOT test does not measure the remaining life of these consumable items unless they pose an immediate safety risk.
