2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · LS68 EDP

The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 50,832 miles, but the record reveals a maintenance pattern that is stable rather than improving. The tester flagged all four brake discs as worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened, and noted all four tyres were either worn close to the legal limit or showing sidewall cracking and perishing. These are not new issues. The same brake disc advisories appeared in the July 2024 test at 45,004 miles, meaning the discs have remained in a degraded condition for nearly two years and roughly 5,800 miles of use. The offside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking or perishing in three consecutive annual tests, from June 2023 through May 2026, suggesting it has never been replaced despite repeated advisories. The engine malfunction indicator lamp was also flagged as inoperative during the July 2024 failure, a defect that was rectified before the retest on the same day but which raises questions about whether the underlying fault was properly diagnosed or simply the bulb was replaced. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car covered 3,904 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, then 3,924 miles between July 2024 and June 2025, and 1,904 miles in the eleven months leading to the May 2026 test. That slight drop in the most recent period could indicate lighter use or a period of limited driving, but the overall annual average of roughly 6,354 miles sits within normal parameters. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest clocking or extended periods off the road. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should focus on the braking system first. The front and rear discs have been flagged as pitted and scored across multiple tests, so measure disc thickness and check for lipping, hot spots, or uneven pad transfer. The rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023 and 2024, so verify whether they have been replaced since. All four tyres need close scrutiny. The nearside and offside front tyres were worn to the legal limit in May 2026, and the offside rear has shown recurring sidewall damage for three years. Check the date codes on all tyres to confirm age and whether the offside rear has finally been replaced. The windscreen has appeared as a recurring advisory since 2024, so inspect the damage area for any spread that could now affect the driver's view. Finally, have the engine MIL function tested under ignition to confirm it illuminates correctly, and scan for stored fault codes to rule out any unresolved emissions or sensor issues.
