2007 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · N9 NTJ

The 2007 Jaguar XK presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-29 at 43,239 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior test on 2024-08-12 at 42,406 miles also passed, while two consecutive failures on 2024-08-08 and 2023-08-16 at the same mileage of 42,406 and 41,831 miles, respectively, showed no recorded defects. This pattern suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical issues in the last 18 months, though the lack of defect details limits insight into the nature of the failures. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,239 miles over 19 years equates to an average of 2,276 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This low mileage may indicate infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. The MOT records show minimal gaps between tests, with the most recent pass occurring 12 months after the last failure, suggesting consistent monitoring. However, the absence of defect annotations in the latest tests does not confirm underlying health, as some issues may require deeper inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which can degrade over time without obvious symptoms. The repeated failures at similar mileages warrant scrutiny of brake systems, including caliper binding and disc wear, as these often manifest gradually. Structural integrity should also be assessed for rust, as older Jaguars are prone to corrosion in body seams and underbody areas. While the MOT history shows no immediate red flags, the low mileage and sporadic failures highlight the need for a hands-on evaluation of mechanical and body condition.
