2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · OU16 ABO

The 2025‑09‑13 MOT confirms the Jaguar XE is presently roadworthy, the sole defect being rear sub‑frame corrosion that the tester judged not seriously weakened. The pattern of results shows a stable maintenance trend, with each subsequent test recording only minor, non‑critical items such as worn brake discs, tyre wear and occasional pad thinning, rather than escalating failures. Mileage has climbed steadily from 46,015 miles in the 2020 test to 86,085 miles in the 2025 test, a gain of roughly 39,000 miles over five years, or about 7,800 miles per year, which is consistent with normal usage for a 2016 model. No significant gaps appear in the record; the intervals between tests are regular and the mileage increments are realistic. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear sub‑frame for any progression of rust, examine rear brake pad thickness and the condition of the rear brake discs, and check that the rear tyres meet the legal tread depth. Front brake discs show repeated pitting or scoring, so their thickness and surface condition must be verified, as should the front suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of binding calipers. The exhaust system and structural mounts should also be assessed for corrosion or damage that could affect safety. While the car passes the current test, the recurring wear items indicate that previous owners have not addressed brake or tyre maintenance promptly, so replacement of discs, pads and tyres is likely required soon. Overall, the vehicle is presently compliant but warrants close scrutiny of the highlighted mechanical components before purchase.
