2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · OY18 VWM

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows signs of recent instability following a significant failure in February 2025. While the most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 60,375 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This indicates a recurring issue with tyre wear patterns that was also noted during the March 2024 test at 47,167 miles. The maintenance trend suggests that while major mechanical failures are being addressed, consumable upkeep is currently lagging. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 26,412 miles in April 2021 to the current 60,375 miles in February 2026. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of long-term inactivity evident in the data. The vehicle appears to follow a predictable usage pattern, which generally aids in predicting the wear lifecycle of standard components. A prospective buyer must scrutinise the electronic parking brake system. The failure on 24 February 2025 at 54,544 miles was severe, involving an inoperative control unit and parking brake efficiency dropping below 50 percent. Although the vehicle passed three days later, the complexity of electronic brake malfunctions requires physical verification of the system's engagement and release. The tester also noted issues with windscreen washer functionality and wiper effectiveness during that same failure, which should be checked for complete resolution. The repeated advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on the front axle warrant a professional inspection of the steering and suspension geometry. Worn edges on both front tyres suggest potential issues with wheel alignment, worn suspension bushes, or incorrect camber settings. Given the history of electronic brake faults and recurring tyre issues, a thorough check of the braking hardware and front-end alignment is essential to ensure the vehicle meets standard operational expectations.
