2009 Jaguar XF 2.7L Diesel · LX09 OTB

The 2009 Jaguar XF presents a broadly stable mechanical picture at its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025, where it passed cleanly at 153,242 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a marked improvement over the June 2024 test cycle, where the car initially failed on an inoperative engine MIL before passing a short time later on the same mileage after rectification. The overall trend is one of resolution rather than deterioration. Corrosion advisories noted in June 2024, including rear sub-frame surface corrosion and a corroded rear brake pipe, were not flagged again in 2025, suggesting either remedial work was carried out or conditions have not worsened to a point requiring re-advisory. The vehicle appears to be in sound roadworthy order as of its latest test. Mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. Between June 2022 at 137,427 miles and June 2025 at 153,242 miles, the car covered 15,815 miles across three years, averaging roughly 5,270 miles annually. That is below the approximately 9,000 miles per year implied by the car's age, pointing to lighter recent use or extended periods of standing. The jump from 142,120 miles in June 2023 to 147,664 miles in June 2024 accounts for 5,544 miles in a single year, which is moderate. No anomalous gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, and the odometer progression is logical with no evidence of rollback. A buyer should still inspect the underside carefully despite the clean 2025 result. The June 2024 advisories around rear sub-frame corrosion, rear shock absorber casing corrosion, and a rear brake pipe flagged as corroded and contaminated with grease indicate that structural rust has been a recurring concern on this car. Have a specialist examine the rear sub-frame mountings, brake pipe runs, and suspension components for any progression since the last test. The nearside rear constant velocity boot was also flagged as severely deteriorated in June 2024, so check the CV joint for play or grease loss. Tyre condition and brake disc wear should be verified given the mileage, even though neither appeared as a defect at the most recent inspection.
