2008 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · OV58 UAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 82,619 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement following a period of mechanical neglect. While the car failed in both 2023 and 2024 due to brake and suspension issues, the clean sheet from the 2025 test indicates that the owner finally addressed the previous faults identified by the DVSA tester. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 82,619 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage patterns, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests. This low mileage often suggests lighter wear on the drivetrain components. However, the infrequent use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and accelerated corrosion, which aligns with the brake binding and fractured spring issues seen in the history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring failures. The nearside rear service brake was flagged for binding in both December 2023 and December 2024, and the front brake discs were noted as pitted or scored across three consecutive years. The buyer should check for caliper sticking and ensure the replacement discs are not prematurely worn. Additionally, the fractured nearside rear coil spring recorded in 2023 indicates that the suspension may be prone to age-related fatigue, necessitating a visual check of all springs and bushings for signs of per or heavy corrosion.
