1994 Jaguar XJR 4.0L Petrol · M644 AWX

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on June 5 2024 at 86,502 miles. This result immediately followed a failure recorded just one week prior on May 29, 2024, at 86,493 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for the initial failure suggests an administrative or minor mechanical oversight that was rectified quickly before the subsequent successful test. The recorded mileage of 86,502 miles over a 32-year lifespan represents an average usage of approximately 2,700 miles per year. This low mileage pattern indicates the car has likely been stored or used sparingly for long periods, which often presents risks related to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. The narrow gap between the two 2024 tests suggests the vehicle was recently serviced, though long intervals of stationary time can lead to fluid contamination or the shrinkage of engine seals. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and underbody components, as aged low-mileage classic vehicles are prone to hidden corrosion and rot. Given the age of this Jaguar, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and control arms should be checked for perishing or cracking that an MOT tester might overlook. The braking system also requires scrutiny for binding calipers or seized pistons since infrequent use often causes brake lines to fail or discs to surface corrode.
