2007 Jaguar S-Type 2.7L Diesel · NV07 CFM

The vehicle shows a declining maintenance trend as it ages, moving from periods of clean passes to more frequent mechanical advisories. While the most recent test in October 2021 at 54,249 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged several developing issues including worn anti-roll bar linkage pins or bushes on both rear sides and slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing. Surface corrosion was also noted underneath the car. This follows a period of instability in 2019 when the vehicle failed its test due to split wiper blades, corroding front brake discs, and a binding nearside front service brake. The mileage profile indicates very low usage for a 2007 model, averaging approximately 2,855 miles per year. The data shows consistent, slow accumulation, such as the jump from 39,488 miles in April 2018 to 45,816 miles in July 2019. However, there is a significant gap in the recorded history, with no MOT data provided between October 2021 and the current date in July 2026. This five-year lapse in documentation suggests the vehicle has likely been off the road for an extended period, which increases the risk of seized components and perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the underside to assess the extent of the surface corrosion mentioned in 2021. The history of leaking nearside rear differential oil seals in 2016 and recurring brake issues, including pitting and binding, suggests that the braking system and drivetrain seals require close scrutiny. Given the low mileage and the long period of inactivity, checking the condition of all suspension bushes, the integrity of the wheel bearings, and the state of the tyres is essential to ensure the car is truly roadworthy.
