2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · MM17 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-08-29 at 75,398 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-20 at 75,139 miles failed despite no defects being noted, raising questions about the validity of the failure. The trend from 2022 to 2024 shows consistent passing results with no defects, suggesting stable maintenance. The recent failure, without recorded issues, indicates potential administrative or procedural anomalies, though the current roadworthiness status remains unverified due to the lack of a valid MOT beyond August 2025. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 8,378 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 7,446-mile increase between 2022-08-02 (51,827 miles) and 2023-08-01 (59,273 miles), followed by a 9,976-mile rise to 69,249 miles by 2024-08-31. The 2025 tests show minimal mileage gain (259 miles), which may suggest reduced usage or storage. This pattern could indicate periods of inactivity, potentially affecting fluid systems, suspension components, and corrosion resistance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with age and inactivity. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is positive, but a physical check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear is advisable. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. The unexplained 2025 failure underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and safety compliance.
