2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · OU18 VRY

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 13 June 2025, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This outcome mirrors the three preceding annual tests (2024‑05‑10, 2023‑05‑02 and 2022‑05‑04), each of which also passed without comment, indicating a consistently stable maintenance record rather than any emerging deterioration or improvement trend. At 75,913 miles the 2018 Jaguar E‑Pace averages just under 9,500 miles per year, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage envelope for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression appears linear with no obvious periods of prolonged inactivity, suggesting the car has been driven regularly rather than stored for extended spells. Such a usage rate places normal wear on consumables – tyre tread, brake pads, and suspension bushings – but does not, in itself, raise immediate red flags for premature component failure. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should focus on age‑related checks. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension components; tyres older than six years may need replacement regardless of tread depth. Verify the 12‑volt battery’s state of charge and terminal condition, as a battery approaching eight years can suffer sulphation and reduced cranking power, especially after periods of short trips. Examine the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing and ensure the pads have sufficient thickness; standing for long periods can cause disc corrosion that may lead to shudder or uneven bite when the vehicle is first used after storage. Finally, confirm that time‑based services have been observed: coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid should be flushed at least every two to three years, and the synthetic engine oil typically requires change at 10‑15 000 mile intervals or annually, whichever comes first. Look for any signs of oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any looseness or creak during a low‑speed drive, and ensure the exhaust system is free of cracks or excessive corrosion. A full service book with dealer stamps will corroborate that the vehicle’s electronic systems, such as the adaptive suspension and electronic stability control, have been kept up to date, giving the buyer confidence in the car’s overall roadworthiness.
