2008 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · PL08 ACO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 122,303 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-14 at 122,290 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were noted. This pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded issues suggests potential procedural or minor technical discrepancies rather than significant mechanical faults. The trend over the past three years shows consistent compliance, with no escalating defects, indicating the car has maintained roadworthiness despite the recent failure. The mileage of 122,303 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 6,795 miles, typical for an 18-year-old vehicle. The MOT history reveals a two-day gap between a failed and subsequent passed test in August 2025, which may reflect administrative delays or minor corrections. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, with mileage increments of 6,617 and 15,330 miles respectively. The data lacks anomalies, suggesting steady, moderate usage without periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as older Jaguars often experience wear in bushes and coil springs. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT records is positive, but visual inspection for rust on the chassis and underbody is advised. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, common in high-mileage models. The lack of exhaust emissions failures is reassuring, but a full system check is recommended to confirm compliance with current standards.
