2012 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · M60 PAF

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 recorded a pass at 116,235 miles, but noted front brake discs worn, pitted, or scored (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) and tyre damage/cracking on both front tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). These issues align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, suggesting persistent wear on braking components and tyre condition. A failure occurred just 6 days earlier on 2026-03-26, with fractured offside rear coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)), brake disc wear , and tyre issues . The failure also included emissions test inability due to a smoke machine fault, which may indicate equipment issues rather than vehicle faults. The minimal mileage difference (116,235 vs. 116,211 miles) over this period suggests the vehicle was likely stationary or driven very little, which could exacerbate corrosion or rubber component degradation. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake disc wear , tyre damage , brake pipe corrosion , and seat belt webbing issues . These problems first appeared in 2024 and persisted through 2025 and 2026, indicating ongoing maintenance needs. The fractured coil spring in 2026-03-26 is a critical safety concern, as it could lead to sudden suspension failure. While the 2026-04-02 MOT passed, the same brake disc and tyre issues reappeared, suggesting unresolved underlying causes.
