2002 Jaguar XK8 4.0L Petrol · OAH 16

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 26 June 2025 at 43,133 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as all previous tests since 2023 have also shown no defects, including the fails which were likely due to minor issues rectified before the subsequent passes. This indicates consistent upkeep. The recorded mileage of 43,133 miles over 24 years equates to approximately 1,797 miles per year, which is low for a car of this age. The mileage progression between tests is gradual: from 39,612 miles in June 2023 to 40,926 miles in July 2024, and then to 43,133 miles in June 2025. This pattern suggests light, sporadic use rather than daily commuting, which can lead to age-related deterioration of components despite low mileage. Given the clean MOT history, there are no recurring mechanical faults to flag. However, for a 24-year-old Jaguar XK8, a buyer should inspect for age-related issues such as perished rubber bushes, corroded brake lines, and coolant system leaks. The low mileage may mask wear on suspension components and seals that degrade over time. A thorough pre-purchase inspection by a specialist is advisable to assess structural integrity and engine health beyond the MOT record.
