2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Petrol · MD16 NFZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs regarding rubber-based components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 58,137 miles passed despite advisories for surface pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. While the vehicle is currently legal, the trend shows a history of allowing suspension and tyre issues to reach failure thresholds, suggesting components are addressed only when they fail an inspection rather than on a preventative schedule. At 58,137 miles, the Jaguar XE shows low mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage profile correlates with the recurring issues noted in the record. Between July 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered only 3,897 miles, yet it suffered a failure due to perishing tyres and a serious shock absorber leak. This specific pattern indicates the car likely sits for long periods, causing rubber seals and tyres to dry out and crack despite having remaining tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The July 2023 test flagged both front lower forward suspension arm bushes as being nearly worn, and the subsequent 2024 failure confirmed a serious leak on the nearside rear shock absorber. You should verify these parts were actually replaced and check for fresh fluid leaks or perished rubber bushings. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory for pitted rear brake discs suggests that the vehicle has been stationary long enough for corrosion to form on the metal surfaces, which will eventually require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance.
