2007 Jaguar X-Type 2.1L Diesel · PJ57 OFR

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-14 recorded a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, with no major safety issues. This follows a pattern of tyre and brake-related defects over the vehicle’s history, though the latest test was otherwise clean. The 2025-05-13 MOT noted a slightly damaged rear tyre and worn brake discs, while the 2025-05-07 test revealed multiple failures, including ply exposure on a rear tyre, fluctuating brakes, and an engine light. These issues suggest recurring concerns with tyre condition and brake components. A consistent pattern of tyre damage—such as cracking, ply exposure, and wear—appears across multiple MOTs, dating back to 2023. Brake discs have also shown repeated wear, pitting, or scoring, though never to a critical level. The 2025-05-07 failure included an engine light, which was not mentioned in subsequent tests, but this could indicate unresolved underlying issues. While the 2026 MOT shows improvement, the recurring nature of tyre and brake defects suggests ongoing maintenance needs rather than a clear worsening or improvement trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,364 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 2,282 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to tyre degradation and brake component corrosion.
