2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · OU16 LZG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of developing suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 89,111 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just eight days prior due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and worn suspension arm bushes on both front sides. The fact that the spring was replaced but the worn bushes were left as advisories indicates that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used executive car, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 22,644 miles between the August 2023 test at 66,466 miles and the 2024 test at 89,110 miles. This period of higher usage correlates with the sudden appearance of mechanical faults, such as the broken coil spring and the degradation of the front arm bushes, suggesting that the vehicle has recently been subjected to higher mileage or demanding driving conditions. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with worn arm bushes and fractured coil springs noted in 2024 suggest that other rubber components and linkages may also be deteriorating. Additionally, the history from 2021 and 2022 shows a persistent pattern of uneven tyre wear on the edges and pitted brake discs. This often points to an alignment issue or worn ball joints that have not been fully addressed, potentially leading to premature wear of consumables.
