2013 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · OU63 AAE

The most recent MOT, carried out on 22 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and this outcome is consistent across the previous five annual tests dating back to April 2022. The uninterrupted succession of clean passes indicates a stable maintenance pattern, with no evidence of emerging faults or a deterioration in the vehicle’s roadworthiness over the last four years. At 86 172 miles on the odometer, the 2013 Jaguar XF averages roughly 6 600 miles per annum, a usage rate that sits comfortably within the normal range for a vehicle of this age. The mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive high‑speed or heavy‑load driving, but the relatively modest annual distance also raises the possibility of periods of low utilisation or prolonged storage, which can introduce age‑related wear on components that are not mileage‑dependent. Given the clean MOT record and moderate mileage, the prospective buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, and verify that the tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm across the width; tyres older than six years should be replaced regardless of remaining tread. Inspect the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion, check the electrolyte level if accessible, and consider a load test to confirm it can sustain the vehicle’s electronic demands, especially in colder weather. Verify that the brake discs are free of excessive surface rust, scoring or glazing, and that the pads have sufficient remaining thickness; any signs of uneven wear may point to sticking calipers or worn suspension bushes. A thorough visual and tactile survey of the suspension and steering components is advisable: look for cracked or deteriorated rubber bushings, worn ball joints, and any play in the tie‑rod ends. Check for oil, coolant or power‑steering fluid leaks around the engine bay and under the chassis, as seals can dry out during long periods of inactivity. Confirm that the timing chain (or belt, if applicable) has been serviced according to the manufacturer’s interval and that the service book bears stamps for oil changes, coolant flushes and filter replacements at appropriate intervals. Finally, listen for any abnormal noises on a short test drive—such as clunks over bumps, brake shudder, or wind‑up from the steering rack—as these can reveal latent issues not captured by the MOT.
