2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · MF10 AUN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 102,494 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure just two days prior for critical issues including tyres and washer failure. The recurring presence of structural corrosion on the rear sub-frame across four consecutive years suggests a progressive issue that remains un-resolved, while the repeated failures of suspension and brake components indicate an inconsistent approach to addressing wear and tear items. At sixteen years of age, the recorded 102,494 miles represent an average of approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage. The data shows regular annual intervals between tests, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between August 2023 and July 2024, and another 9,600 miles covered by August 2025. This steady mileage suggests the car is used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components, despite the relatively low annual distance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame, as it has been flagged for corrosion since at least 2023. While the tester did not find it seriously weakened yet, the persistence of this advisory indicates surface rust that could eventually compromise structural integrity if not monitored. The history also highlights recurring issues with the rear suspension, specifically ball joints and arm bushes, which showed excessive wear in 2024. These components should be checked for any remaining play or knocking noises that would indicate further mechanical fatigue. The brake system also shows signs of neglect, with thin pads and pitted discs noted twice during the mid-2024 tests. Given that these were flagged as failing points, the buyer should verify that the rear brakes were actually replaced with quality parts rather than merely cleaned. Furthermore, the failure for low tread depth tyres in July 2025 suggests that basic consumable maintenance is only addressed when an MOT is imminent. A thorough check of the current tyre condition and alignment is necessary to ensure the current owner is not ignoring uneven wear.
