2009 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · PC08 RJC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 101,607 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent over the last three years, with no recorded defects across the previous four tests. The failure recorded on 13 February 2026, just seven days prior to the pass at 101,596 miles, suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial component issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered 12,831 miles in a single year. However, the usage scaled back considerably, with only 6,513 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. While low annual mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than high-mile wear. The buyer must check for cracking in suspension bushes and perished hoses, which become brittle over time regardless of miles driven. The brakes should be examined for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust that persists. Additionally, checking the chassis and subframe for corrosion is essential, as the MOT test does not detect deep-seated structural rot until it reaches a failure threshold.
