2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · OV60 XPA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to consumables rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 130,805 miles passed despite advis for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in February 2025 where the car failed initially due to multiple lighting issues and brake wear before passing the following day after minor adjustments. At 130,805 miles over 16 years, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 8,175 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows steady use, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,800 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 test. This suggests the car does not sit for long periods, but does place a consistent load on rubber-based components and braking systems. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyre condition, as the history shows recurring issues with perishing sidewalls and uneven wear across multiple years. The repeated mentions of cracking and splitting tyres in 2023 and 2025 suggest either poor alignment geometry or age-related rubber degradation. Furthermore, the recorded failure for thin offside rear brake pads in 2025 highlights the need to check the remaining life of the braking system and ensure calipers are not binding or causing uneven wear.
