2018 Jaguar XF 2.0L Diesel · RA57 AVB

The 2018 Jaguar XF holds a fully roadworthy MOT status, confirmed by the 26 January 2026 test at 67,702 miles which passed with no defects recorded. This outcome sustains a stable maintenance trend across all five DVSA examinations since June 2021, with zero advisories or failures at any stage. Registered mileage aligns with typical eight-year use at an average near 8,460 miles per annum, yet the annual progression is uneven. The car covered 16,681 miles between 23 June 2021 at 32,714 miles and 18 July 2022 at 49,395 miles, then 13,907 miles to 8 August 2023 at 63,302 miles. Usage collapsed thereafter. Only 3,420 miles were added to 23 July 2024 at 66,722 miles, then a mere 980 miles by the January 2026 test. Such an eighteen-month standstill suggests the vehicle was stored or sparingly driven, though the clean test history implies upkeep was not ignored. Testers flagged no recurring suspension, brake or structural faults across the record, indicating previous owners met statutory standards. The absence of advisories on coil springs, bushes, discs or corrosion points to sound basic care. Extended inactivity from mid-2024 can conceal seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres and superficial rust on brake surfaces that a static MOT cannot always reveal. A buyer should commission a ramp inspection of subframe, sills and exhaust for moisture corrosion, plus a road test to detect any binding brakes or steering deviation. The DVSA data shows no active defects, but verification of fluid condition and tyre integrity after prolonged storage remains prudent.
