2012 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · OV62 OCW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in January 2026 at 83,282 miles identified a fluctuating front left service brake and a binding condition on the offside rear brake. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the braking system is beginning to require attention or potential refurbishment, moving away from the clean records seen in the previous two years. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of roughly 7,700 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use, but it also increases the likelihood of rubber components and seals degrading due to age rather than friction. The clean results from the early-2024 period suggest the vehicle was generally well-maintained despite the low mileage. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, following the failure in January 2025 at 75,508 miles where worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms caused a failure. Although these were rectified to pass the subsequent test, the recent appearance of brake fluctuations and binding suggests the calipers or discs are now reaching their limit. The tester should inspect for uneven wear on the front discs and check the slide pins on the offside rear caliper to ensure the binding does not progress into a mechanical failure.
