2018 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · R1 RJN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistently clean inspection record. The most recent test conducted on 19 April 2025 at 20,203 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a brief failure on 06 April 2024 at 18,142 miles, the vehicle passed its retest just two days later, suggesting that any identified issues were rectified immediately. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,525 miles per year. Data from the April 2022 test at 12,786 miles to the April 2025 test at 20,203 miles shows a consistent usage profile of roughly 2,500 miles annually. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between recorded miles can sometimes lead to specific mechanical issues such as flat-spotting on tyres, degradation of rubber-based bushings, or brake fluid oxidation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage storage damage. Although the MOT history shows no structural rust or mechanical failures, the inspector should verify the condition of the brake calipers for seizing and check the suspension assembly for perished perished that often occur during long stationary periods. Given the age relative to the mileage, checking for dry cracking on the tyres and the health of the battery is essential, as these parts often age through time rather than through use.
