2017 Jaguar XF 2.0L Diesel · OY17 CZM

Consistent roadworthiness defines the history of this Jaguar XF, which has maintained an unbroken streak of passes since its first test. The vehicle successfully cleared its most recent inspection on 13 March 2026 without any recorded defects, continuing a trend of clean results that has persisted for the last three consecutive years. While the 2023 test did flag minor concerns regarding tyre wear and a suspension bush, these were addressed, and the subsequent testing cycles confirm that the vehicle has remained free of recurring structural or mechanical failures. Accumulating 75,687 miles over nine years results in an average of approximately 8,410 miles per annum, a figure that aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The consistency of this mileage accumulation suggests the car has been kept in regular operation rather than remaining stationary for extended periods, which is generally favourable for the longevity of rubber seals, gaskets, and electrical systems. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, indicating a stable operational life with no evidence of prolonged periods off the road that might otherwise lead to issues like seized brake components or degraded fluids. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the front suspension geometry, specifically the offside suspension arm bush that was noted as worn in 2023. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, as this can indicate that the bush or associated ball joints have reached the end of their service life. Ensure the steering remains precise and does not exhibit any vagueness or pulling to one side, which could suggest that the suspension components are no longer holding their alignment correctly. Regarding the tyres, the 2023 advisories for edge wear highlight the importance of checking the current set for uneven tread patterns. If the tyres show signs of feathering or internal wear, it may point to a misalignment issue that has persisted or redeveloped since the last inspection. When driving, verify that there is no vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds, as this can indicate balancing issues or underlying wear in the steering rack or wheel bearings. A thorough inspection of the underside for any signs of oil misting around the engine and gearbox casing is also recommended, as the current clean MOT status does not preclude the development of minor leaks that fall outside the scope of a standard roadworthiness test.
