Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a luxury saloon with exceptionally low mileage and a clean service record. This specific example appears to have been well-maintained and rarely used compared to its age.
The primary selling point of this vehicle is its mileage, which is significantly below average for a 2007 registration. When inspecting, ensure that the service history is comprehensive; low-mileage luxury cars require regular oil changes to prevent components like rubber seals and gaskets from drying prematurely. Check for any signs of fluid leaks, as these diesel engines can be expensive to repair.
Pay attention to the electronics. As a high-end Jaguar from this era, every button, climate control dial, and seat adjustment must function perfectly. Since the car has only failed an MOT for a registration plate lamp, it suggests the previous owner was attentive to basic maintenance, but you should still test the infotainment and suspension systems before finalizing.
The 2.7L diesel engine is relatively efficient for its size, though buyers should expect higher fuel costs than a modern hybrid. You can expect around 35-42 MPG depending on driving style. Tax and insurance will be mid-range, depending on your personal risk profile.
Maintenance costs will be higher than a standard hatchback due to the premium parts and specialist labour required. However, the low mileage suggests you will be replacing wear items like tyres and tyres infrequently. Estimate an annual cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on your annual mileage.
The MOT history shows a failure in 2023 regarding three tyres being close to the legal limit and worn on edges. Inspect the current tyres for even wear; uneven wear could indicate alignment issues or suspension bushing wear, which are common on the heavy XJ chassis.
Check the rear registration lamp specifically, as this was the only recent failure, to ensure it has been properly fixed. Given the age, also inspect the interior leatherwork for cracks and the dashboard for any shrinkage, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer if they have sat stationary rather than driven regularly.
This 2007 Jaguar XJ is a rare find in the market, having covered just over 46,000 miles in 19 years. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with only minor advisories and a single bulb failure and tyre wear recorded over the last decade. Combined with the 2.7L diesel engine, it offers a blend of premium comfort and relatively low running for a large executive car.
The 2.7-litre V6 diesel is generally considered robust if maintained, though the electronic systems of this era can be temperamental as they age.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR XJ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Air Suspension Failure(Serious)
Air struts leak or the compressor fails to reach pressure, leaving the car "slammed" on its bump stops.
- Aluminum Corrosion (X350)(Moderate)
Although it won’t rust like steel, the X350 suffers from galvanic corrosion, appearing as bubbling paint around the wheel arches and boot lid.
- ZF Gearbox Surging & Lurch(Moderate)
The ZF six-speed automatic gearbox can develop surging on light throttle at 30-50mph and harsh lurching into gear when coming to a stop. This is typically caused by torque converter clutch issues or outdated TCM software and can often be resolved with a software reflash and fresh fluid.
- Door Lock & Window Regulator Failures(Moderate)
The door lock actuators and window regulators are common failure points on the X350. Lock failures can leave doors stuck in the double-locked position, while window regulators fail with the cable-driven mechanism snapping or the motor burning out.
