2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · OW65 ABN

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a clean pass on 13 January 2026 and a sequence of four consecutive tests without any recorded defects. The only notable instability occurred in January 2022, when the vehicle failed on headlamp aim before passing with advisories regarding brake hose corrosion and restricted access due to undertrays. The recorded mileage of 63,520 miles over approximately ten years indicates an average annual usage of roughly 6,352 miles. This accumulation rate is typical for the vehicle's age, suggesting that the drivetrain, suspension, and consumables have been subjected to standard wear and tear without the risks associated with extreme high-mileage use or the degradation often found in vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Inspection should focus on the rear braking system, specifically the ferrules at the caliper ends of the nearside and offside rear brake hoses, which were flagged for corrosion in 2022. Although these items did not appear as advisories in later tests, a manual check is required to confirm if the hoses were replaced or if the corrosion persists. During the test drive, the buyer should monitor for any pedal judder or inconsistencies in braking force. The recurring mention of undertrays limiting access to components across multiple tests means that certain areas of the underbody may not have been fully scrutinized by the MOT testers. It is essential to have these trays removed during a professional inspection to properly evaluate the structural integrity of the subframe and check for oil misting or leaks from the engine and gearbox that may have been obscured from view.
