OE70 RYM MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
2 MOT tests are recorded for this 2020 Jaguar I-Pace (OE70 RYM) between July 2024 and September 2025.
The record contains 2 passes and 0 failures.
The record shows no MOT failures, although 2 advisory notices note items to monitor.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (1 issue), Steering (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 2 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Our Verdict
The Jaguar I-PACE is a premium electric
Begin by asking the seller for evidence of the work carried out (if any) to address the offside front steering rack inner joint play flagged in September 2025. Steering components on the I-PACE can be costly to rectify, so a clear explanation of the current condition is vital. Inspect the offside rear tyre closely for any remaining damage or uneven wear, and budget for a replacement if the cut has worsened.
Request a full Jaguar or specialist service history. As an electric vehicle, the I-PACE requires less routine maintenance than a combustion car, but suspension, brakes (including regen-related corrosion), and software updates should all be documented. Verify that any recall work — particularly relating to high-voltage battery software — has been completed via a Jaguar Land Rover dealer.
When test driving, listen for clunks or vagueness through the steering, especially over bumps, and check for any warning messages on the driver display. The I-PACE's air suspension (where fitted) can be expensive to repair, so confirm the ride height behaves consistently on all four corners. Finally, arrange an independent battery state-of-health assessment, as degradation directly affects range and value.
As a pure electric vehicle, the I-PACE avoids fuel costs and benefits from zero-rated VED (road tax) for vehicles registered before April 2025, though this specific 2020 example is likely exempt from the Expensive Car Supplement given its original list price. Insurance typically falls in groups 49-50, so premiums can be substantial; obtain a quote before purchase. Home charging will cost roughly 4-5p per mile on a standard tariff, while public rapid charging can be considerably more expensive.
Routine maintenance is generally lower than a combustion SUV, with no oil changes or exhaust components to worry about, but expect higher costs for tyres (due to the vehicle's weight), brake fluid changes, and cabin filters. Based on typical I-PACE ownership costs covering electricity, insurance, tyres, and periodic servicing, buyers should budget in the region of £1,400-£1,800 annually, though this varies significantly with mileage and charging habits.
The September 2025 advisory noted play in the offside front steering rack inner joint, which warrants a physical inspection. Have the vehicle raised and check for any knocking, free play in the tie rods, or uneven tyre wear that might suggest the issue has progressed. Also closely examine the offside rear tyre for any signs of bulging, slow deflation, or damage near the cut area previously flagged.
Beyond the MOT items, the I-PACE has known weak points worth examining: the regenerative braking system can lead to seized rear callipers due to limited use, so confirm the rear brakes release freely. Check the high-voltage battery coolant hoses for any staining or leaks, and inspect the charging port for signs of overheating or damage. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers control systems, is known to fail prematurely on early I-PACE models and can cause a host of electrical gremlins — verify its age and condition.
Finally, on a pre-purchase inspection, request a diagnostic scan using Jaguar-approved equipment to check for stored fault codes, particularly relating to the battery management system, electric drive units, and infotainment. The 12V battery and suspension components are common failure points across the model range, so a thorough scan is money well spent.
This December 2020 Jaguar I-PACE finished in blue has covered 42,864 miles across its recorded MOT history, with two tests logged and both resulting in pass outcomes. The 2024 test was clean, but the most recent 2025 test flagged two advisories relating to steering rack play and a tyre cut. Mileage of around 8,500 miles per year sits broadly in line with the model average of 8,443 miles annually. Overall, the MOT record is largely positive but the recent advisories deserve attention.
Across 16,720 Jaguar I-PACE examples analysed, the model achieves a 92.4% MOT pass rate, which is broadly in line with other premium electric SUVs. Aggregate data shows windscreen wipers and tyres as the most common failure points, consistent with general wear items on a heavy, high-performance EV.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR I-PACE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 12V Battery & BMS Sensor Glitch(Serious)
A failing 12V battery or a glitchy Battery Monitoring System (BMS) sensor can trigger a "Traction Battery Fault" or total vehicle shutdown. The car is extremely sensitive to 12V health.
- High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH) Failure(Serious)
The internal element in the HV heater fails, resulting in no cabin heat. This is covered by Safety Recall H448 for many models, as it affects windscreen defrosting. Repair out-of-warranty is expensive as it requires dropping the main high-voltage battery pack.
- Charging Port Actuator Pin Sticking(Moderate)
The charging port door can fail to open, or the actuator pin that locks the cable in place can stick. This means the cable either fails to lock into the port or refuses to release after charging. The pin mechanism is a known weak point that can seize in cold weather.
- Air Suspension Strut & Compressor Failure(Serious)
The air suspension on HSE and higher specification models can develop strut leaks or compressor failure, particularly in cold or damp conditions. The compressor runs continuously to compensate for leaking struts, eventually burning itself out. Symptoms include the car sitting low on one corner and suspension fault warnings.
- Windscreen Seal Water Ingress(Moderate)
A known production quality issue where the factory windscreen seal fails, allowing water to leak into the cabin through the A-pillar area. Water can reach the frunk where the 12V battery and electronics are located, causing additional electrical problems. Particularly common on 2018-2020 cars.
