2015 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · PJ15 AFE

The Jaguar XF’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 25 November 2025 at 104,495 miles , confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The preceding test cycle, however, reveals an unusual pattern: the car failed on 5 November 2024 at the same mileage (85,915) before passing on 21 November 2024 , suggesting either a temporary rectification or a minor oversight in the initial inspection. The earlier tests in September 2023 also show a failed and then passed result at 70,798 miles , indicating a recurring anomaly rather than a consistent deterioration. While the final pass in November 2025 suggests the vehicle has been maintained adequately since then, the repeated failures at identical mileages warrant scrutiny of whether underlying issues were addressed properly or if the failures were procedural rather than mechanical. The recorded mileage progression of 9,500 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the three-month gap between the failed and passed tests in 2024 (and similarly in 2023) is unusual. This suggests either a brief period of reduced driving or a delay in scheduling the MOT, rather than a sudden spike in mileage. The most significant mileage jump occurred between September 2023 (70,798 miles) and November 2023 (85,915 miles) , a 15,117-mile increase in just two months , which could imply either intensive use or a period of neglect before the vehicle was brought up to standard. The consistency of passing tests after failures indicates the issues were likely minor and correctable, but the pattern raises questions about whether more serious components were overlooked during those intervals. Given the repeated failures at identical mileages, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of brake systems, suspension components, and exhaust emissions . The 2023 and 2024 failures at the same mileage could point to binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or failing coil springs , which often manifest intermittently rather than progressively. Corrosion in wheel arches or subframe areas should also be checked, as this is common in Jaguar XFs of this age. The most recent pass in November 2025 suggests these issues may have been addressed, but a thorough check of fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant), tyre tread uniformity, and structural integrity —particularly around the rear suspension and exhaust mounts—is essential to confirm no latent problems remain. The absence of defects in the last test does not guarantee long-term reliability without further verification.
