2018 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · OW18 XRG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 at 70,494 miles. While the vehicle remains legal, the latest inspection highlights a recurring pattern of tyre wear. The tester flagged both the offside and nearside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a similar advisory in July 2025 regarding inner edge wear on the front tyres, suggesting a persistent issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 70,494 miles, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 52,704 miles in July 2023 to 70,494 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, and the incremental increases between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests indicate regular, predictable road use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and steering components. The repeated advisories for uneven tyre wear across both axles imply that the vehicle may require a professional four-wheel alignment or an investigation into worn suspension bushes or control arms. These issues, if left unaddressed, will lead to premature tyre replacement and potentially compromised handling. The braking system also warrants close attention. In the July 2024 test at 59,554 miles, the inspector recorded pitting and scoring on all four brake discs. While these were not classed as serious defects at that time, the buyer should check for excessive vibration or noise during testing to ensure the discs and pads have been adequately maintained since that inspection. Overall, the mechanical history suggests a vehicle that is well-used but requires attention to its alignment and consumable wear items.
