2008 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · R88 RAP

The vehicle presents a stable and improving roadworthiness profile. Following a period of minor consumable issues, the most recent test on 20 June 2026 at 60,954 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent streak of defect-free results dating back to the November 2024 inspection at 60,465 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two years suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,386 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between September 2021 at 49,934 miles and September 2022 at 54,748 miles. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intermittent use is reflected in the historical tyre issues. The record shows a recurring trend of perishing and cracking rubber between 2019 and 2021, which is a common side effect of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of rubber components and age-related degradation. Although the 2017 test at 26,604 miles flagged worn brake discs and low pads, the subsequent clean records suggest these were addressed. However, given the history of perishing tyres and the low annual mileage, a physical inspection of all tyre sidewalls for cracking and a thorough check of suspension bushes and seals is necessary. Low-use vehicles often suffer from dried-out rubber components even if the mechanical mileage is low. The mechanical history is largely unremarkable, with the only significant outliers being consumable wear items like tyres and brakes. The 2015 entry regarding an engine management lamp indicates an early electronic fault, but there is no evidence of this recurring in the subsequent decade of testing. The current trend suggests a well-kept example, provided the low-mileage storage conditions have not compromised the integrity of the various rubber hoses and seals throughout the engine bay.
