2018 Jaguar XF 2.0L Petrol · LS68 GXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 76,619 miles, the tester identified multiple significant advisories that were absent in previous years. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to a series of brake and tyre failures in 2025 suggests a shift toward reactive maintenance where components are only addressed once they reach failure points. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 39,605 miles and the April 2026 test at 76,619 miles, the car covered roughly 37,000 miles, indicating steady usage. However, the jump of 11,387 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a period of higher activity that likely correlates with the accelerated wear noted in the later MOT entries. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The April 2026 test flagged pitting and scoring on both front brake discs along with thin pads, which indicates prolonged exposure to moisture or a lack of regular cleaning. The recurring history of structural tyre failures, including exposed cords and bulges noted in 2025, suggests potential alignment issues or the use of low-quality rubber. The buyer should specifically check for uneven wear patterns across all tyres to ensure the suspension bushes and geometry are not causing premature degradation.
