2016 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · PY16 TEO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 March 2026 at 41,388 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears improving following a significant failure in late February 2025. While the most recent test shows a clean sheet, the historical data indicates that the owner only addressed critical safety items once identified during the testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,139 miles per year. There is a consistent pattern of low usage, with 1,429 miles covered between January 2023 and February 2024, and another 2,497 miles in the year leading up to the recent test. This low mileage suggests limited mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid breakdown if the car sat stationary for extended periods. The February 2025 failure highlights a need for proactive maintenance regarding consumables. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads at 1.1mm, ineffective windscreen wipers, and both offside front and rear tyres falling below the 1.6mm legal limit. These faults suggest the previous owner neglected routine inspections until a formal test forced corrective action. A buyer should personally inspect the current condition of the brake discs for corrosion and check the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking, even if tread depth appears sufficient. Given the low annual mileage, the physical inspection should focus on the suspension bushings and rubber seals, which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. There are no records of structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the provided history, but the transition from a multi-point failure to a clean pass indicates the vehicle relies on reactive rather than preventative care. Verify that the recent brake and tyre work was completed with high-quality parts to ensure the long-term reliability of the braking system.
