2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · MK03 TAG

The Jaguar E-PACE presented a valid MOT certificate at the time of its most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 72,941 miles, passing with an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and on its edge. The maintenance trend is stable overall, with a consistent annual test history showing no outright failures. However, a specific concern is worsening: the offside rear tyre has now been flagged for similar edge wear and perishing damage across three consecutive tests (December 2024, November 2023, and December 2025), indicating a persistent issue likely related to wheel alignment or suspension geometry rather than simple consumable wear. Mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,118 miles annually. The recorded mileages show steady, logical progression between tests with no unexplained gaps or periods of exceptionally high use that would suggest harsh fleet or commercial operation. The record is clean of any major structural, exhaust, or steering/suspension component failures, and the last advisory for worn brake pads was in December 2022, suggesting that component was subsequently addressed. A buyer must prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear axle and tyres. The recurring offside rear tyre wear pattern demands immediate investigation into rear suspension arm bushes, trailing links, and wheel alignment settings. Binding calipers or uneven brake pad material transfer could also cause such wear and should be checked. While the 2022 brake pad advisory has not recurred, the discs should be measured for thickness and run-out. The nearside windscreen wiper fault from November 2021 was a minor consumable item, but all other advisories point specifically to the rear suspension's effect on tyre contact.
