2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · LS67 HSY

The latest MOT test conducted on 25 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend for this vehicle is exceptionally stable, demonstrating a consistent history of compliance with roadworthiness standards since 2020. With only a minor advisory regarding tyre condition noted in 2022, the absence of recurring failures or structural concerns suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from significant mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 87,042 miles over approximately nine years equates to an annual average of roughly 9,671 miles. This is considered typical usage for a premium executive saloon of this vintage, indicating that the vehicle has been used regularly without being subjected to excessive wear or the detrimental effects of prolonged standing. This balanced usage profile generally ensures that engine seals remain supple and the drivetrain has been operated within its intended thermal parameters, although it places the vehicle at a mileage where certain wear-and-tear components will soon require attention. Given the remarkably clean MOT history, the prospective buyer should focus on age-related degradation and preventative maintenance. The previous advisory regarding perishing front tyres serves as a reminder to carefully inspect all current tyre sidewalls for ozone cracking or dry rot, particularly on the rear axle if the tyres are several years old. During the test drive, the buyer should be alert for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often begin to degrade around this mileage. It is also prudent to check for any signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. Furthermore, it is essential to verify the service book stamps to ensure that oil and filter changes have adhered to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals. At this age and mileage, the health of the 12V battery and the condition of the auxiliary drive belts should be physically inspected. A thorough examination of the engine bay for weeping gaskets or fluid leaks is recommended, alongside confirmation that the brake fluid and coolant have been flushed according to the recommended schedule to prevent internal corrosion of the cooling system and braking components.
