2022 Jaguar I-Pace HSE Black Electric · LR72 AVN

The Jaguar I-PACE presents an unblemished DVSA roadworthiness profile across both recorded MOT events, with a pass issued on 10 December 2025 and a further pass on 16 December 2024, neither test flagging any defects or advisories. This clean sheet is meaningful for a prospective purchaser, as any structural, braking, suspension, or corrosion issues that would typically be recorded by the examining tester have been entirely absent. The vehicle has therefore demonstrated consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards at each annual assessment, and the absence of recurring advisories across two consecutive tests suggests there is no chronic wear pattern developing on consumable or structural items at this stage. Against an age of approximately four years, the recorded 28,829 miles equates to an annual accumulation of around 7,207 miles, which sits squarely within typical parameters for a vehicle of this type and use case. There are no extended gaps in MOT testing, nor any anomalies suggesting prolonged periods off the road or sudden spikes in mileage between tests. For an electric vehicle such as the I-PACE, this kind of steady, moderate usage is mechanically favourable; it implies regular drive cycle activity that supports battery conditioning and thermal management, alongside normal wear rates for the regenerative braking system, tyre life, and suspension components rather than the accelerated degradation that high-mileage accumulation can produce. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should still undertake a focused appraisal of the items most commonly affected on I-PACE vehicles of this age and mileage. On a test drive, listen carefully for any knocking or clonking noises from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as the aluminium hub carriers and lower control arm bushes can develop play; any such noise warrants an inspection on a ramp. The brake pedal should be assessed for smooth response without excessive judder under load, paying particular attention to the rear discs, which on I-PACE models driven predominantly under regenerative braking can suffer from low-speed surface corrosion that may not yet have been flagged at MOT. Steering should remain precise and free of vibration or pulling, particularly under heavy regenerative deceleration, and the tyres should be checked for even shoulder wear which can indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. Underneath the vehicle, an inspection for any fluid staining around the front electric motor and single-speed transmission area is worthwhile, as seepage from the motor or reduction gearbox housings has been reported on early production I-PACE examples. The underside should also be examined for any stone-chip damage to the undertrays or evidence of corrosion around suspension mounting points, even though none has yet been recorded by the DVSA tester. Finally, given the vehicle's reliance on high-voltage systems, confirmation that all driver-assistance functions, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and the 360-degree camera system, are operating correctly via the infotainment diagnostics menu is advisable, as software faults on such a complex platform can manifest as intermittent warnings rather than mechanical MOT failures.
