2015 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · OV65 HKB

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent MOT test indicates a trend of developing mechanical wear. While the car passed the November 2025 test at 92,161 miles, several new advisories emerged that were absent in the clean October 2024 report. The appearance of a binding nearside front service brake and a central rear oil leak suggests that components are now reaching a stage requiring proactive maintenance as the vehicle enters a higher mileage bracket. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2025, and another 14,000 miles in the preceding year. This consistent interval suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though it accounts for the standard wear and tear seen on rubber bushes and braking hardware. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and the powertrain seals. The history shows a parking brake efficiency failure in October 2024, followed by a binding front caliper in 2025, indicating a potential issue with the brake adjustment mechanism or slider pin corrosion. The buyer must also inspect the central rear of the vehicle to verify the extent of the reported oil leak, as this could range from a minor gasket weep to a more significant seal failure. The recurring advisories regarding tyres worn on edges in both 2023 and 2025 also suggest that an alignment check or worn suspension bushes should be checked to prevent premature tyre degradation.
