2006 Jaguar X-Type 2.5L Petrol · NH06 VFB

The Jaguar X-Type is currently roadworthy, having passed the 11 June 2025 examination at 81,550 miles with no defects logged. The maintenance trend across the five available MOT entries is stable, showing zero advisories for suspension, brakes, or corrosion since the 7 June 2022 test. Recent compliance indicates previous owners met statutory standards without recurring mechanical faults. Recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2006 vehicle. The DVSA file shows 78,664 miles on 7 June 2022, 79,422 miles on 14 June 2023, 80,878 miles on 24 June 2024, and 81,550 miles on 11 June 2025. Annual gains stay between 700 and 1,500 miles, confirming long-term storage rather than daily commuting. The 24 June 2024 test failed the car at 80,878 miles yet logged no defects; the tester passed it ten days later at 80,894 miles with no faults, pointing to an administrative cause instead of component wear. A buyer should still inspect typical age-related items not always flagged by MOT. The X-Type's low yearly running invites degraded suspension bushes, perished tyres, and binding rear calipers from standing. Check subframe, sills, and coil springs for structural corrosion despite clean test sheets. Prior owners kept the car through tests but the unexplained 2024 rejection means verifying paperwork and confirming no hidden rectification.
