2009 Jaguar XF 2.7L Diesel · LX09 OTH

The most recent MOT result from October 2025 was a pass, but the preceding result from October 2025 was a failure, indicating a significant deterioration in the vehicle's condition between those two inspections. The recurring mechanical pattern involves significant corrosion noted on the rear sub-frame and deterioration of dust covers on various suspension arm ball joints across multiple inspections. There is also a history of issues with the brake pipe and loose exhaust heatshields. The condition trend is clearly worsening, as evidenced by the failure in the previous inspection detailing multiple suspension and corrosion issues, followed by a pass in the most recent inspection which still noted these specific issues. The mileage of 89,743 miles for a 2009 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage, around 5,279 miles per year, which could imply lighter use or extended periods of standing rather than heavy daily driving wear. However, the MOT history points to specific component wear and corrosion rather than just mileage wear. A buyer must first inspect the rear suspension components thoroughly, paying close attention to the noted corroded sub-frame and the condition of the ball joint dust covers. Secondly, check the brake system components, specifically the brake pipe, for any signs of ongoing corrosion or leaks. Finally, examine the tyres, as the history shows wear close to the legal limit on several tyres in the 2024 inspection, which is a clear area of concern.
