2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · PL16 CUG

The most recent MOT from August 2025 resulted in a pass, but this followed a failure regarding a rough offside front wheel bearing and thin nearside rear brake pads. A recurring pattern of brake-related defects is evident in the history. In August 2023, the vehicle failed on multiple brake pads and discs that were worn, pitted, or scored, with specific mention of heat damage on the nearside rear disc. The 2025 failure shows that brake pad wear remains a recurring issue that requires attention. The trend indicates that while the vehicle is being repaired to meet MOT standards, it is experiencing intermittent failures on consumable parts and mechanical components like wheel bearings. This suggests a pattern of maintenance being reactive to component wear. With approximately 5,629 miles driven per year, the mileage is low for a ten-year-old vehicle. While this typically means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, low usage can sometimes contribute to the brake disc pitting and scoring seen in the 2023 records, often due to moisture accumulation during periods of inactivity. Before purchasing, you should listen for any humming or grinding noises from the wheels during a test drive to ensure the wheel bearing issue is fully resolved. You should also inspect the brake discs for any signs of scoring, pitting, or uneven thickness.
