2020 Jaguar I-Pace Electric · OV20 GJO

Tyre wear is the defining theme of this Jaguar I-PACE's recorded history, with four of its five MOT tests passing but three of them carrying tyre-related advisories. The April 2024 test was the most notable, flagging the offside front, nearside front, and nearside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge, alongside a cut to the offside front tyre and a nail embedded in the nearside rear. The December 2024 test still recorded the offside front tyre worn close to the limit, suggesting the flagged rubber was not replaced immediately between tests. The most recent test on 26 November 2025 passed with no defects recorded, and the 2023 test was also clean, so the overall trend has improved and there are no failures anywhere in the record. At 38,649 miles over roughly six years, the car has averaged about 6,400 miles per year, which is typical for its age and consistent with regular use rather than prolonged standing. The testing chronology is slightly unusual, with two tests in 2024 (April and December) followed by a November 2025 test, but there are no significant gaps in the annual testing cycle and no evidence of extended off-road periods. This steady, moderate usage pattern means wear items such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components should reflect normal service life rather than accelerated deterioration, though the I-PACE is a heavy electric vehicle and its weight places sustained load on tyres and suspension bushes. The repeated edge-wear advisories on the front tyres are the key point for a prospective buyer to investigate. Edge wear concentrated on the front axle can indicate tracking or wheel alignment that is out of specification, or under-inflation being run for extended periods, and on a heavy EV it can also reflect worn suspension bushes or dampers allowing the geometry to shift under load. On a test drive, check whether the car tracks straight on a level road without steering correction, listen for knocks or clonks from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, and inspect all four tyres for uneven shoulder wear, since the current tyres' condition will confirm whether the alignment issue has been resolved or persists. Beyond the tyres, the record is clean: no brake, suspension, structural, or emissions defects have ever been recorded, and the latest pass with zero advisories is encouraging. Even so, given the 2024 history, it is worth having the front wheel alignment checked and the suspension bushes inspected before purchase, and verifying that matching tyres of the correct load and speed rating are fitted across each axle. If the seller can evidence replacement tyres fitted after the December 2024 test, that would account for the clear 2025 result and close out the only recurring concern in this vehicle's history.
