2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · NJ66 HRR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 20 February 2026 at 66,889 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of neglect regarding consumable items. While the 2025 test resulted in a failure due to poor tyre condition, the subsequent clean result indicates that the owner has addressed these pressing issues to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between February 2023 at 47,797 miles and February 2024 at 55,964 miles, the car covered 8,167 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The recent interval of 4,450 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests light operation, which generally reduces the strain on drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile examples. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyres and alignment, as the record reveals a recurring issue with uneven wear and legal limit tread depths. The 2024 and 2025 tests specifically flagged tyres worn on the edges, which often points to incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes and bushings. Given the vehicle's age, the inspector should also check for signs of dry cracking in rubber components, as low mileage does not always prevent environmental degradation over time. The presence of a nearside rear child seat during two consecutive tests obstructed a full inspection of the adult seat belt. The buyer must manually verify the belt mechanism is secure and free of fraying. Since the most recent test showed no mechanical or structural defects, the primary focus remains on verifying the quality of the work performed following the previous tyre failures.
