2018 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0L Diesel · M5 NGK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 136,662 miles shows a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the owner addressed the serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber and lighting issues, the record still notes worn rear inner anti-roll bar bushes and an insecure battery. This suggests a trend where mechanical components are only replaced once they reach the point of an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between June 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 8,791 miles, while a further 7,049 miles were recorded between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not sat idle for long periods, but the high annual mileage places significant demand on the drivetrain and rubber components, which explains the wear seen in the history. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system and braking assembly. The record from June 2023 flagged significant edge wear on both front tyres, which typically indicates poor alignment geometry or worn ball joints. Given the recurring reports of thin brake pads, pitted discs, and a failing parking brake system in 2023, the buyer should check for binding calipers or uneven wear on the rotors. The oil leak noted in July 2024 also requires physical verification to ensure it has not escalated into a more significant leak that could compromise engine components.
