2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · RA66 PDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 showing a PASS. However, the maintenance trend indicates some recurring issues that suggest ongoing care may be required. Tyre wear remains a consistent concern, with nearside and offside rear tyres flagged in multiple tests as worn close to legal limits. Brake components also show signs of gradual deterioration, including front suspension bushes and brake discs. These issues have not escalated significantly but require monitoring to prevent future failures. The mileage progression shows a steady increase over the past four years, averaging around 11,083 miles annually. The 2024-12-06 test at 95,463 miles recorded minor brake binding and worn suspension bushes, while the 2023-12-07 test at 82,124 miles noted similar tyre wear and suspension issues. A failed test in 2023-12-05 highlighted more severe brake pad wear and corrosion on rear brake discs. No major structural or emissions issues were reported, though the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest routine servicing is essential for continued reliability. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the front lower arm bushes, which have been flagged multiple times. Brake components, including discs and pads, should be checked for excessive wear or corrosion. Tyres must be assessed for even tread depth and edge wear, as this has been a recurring issue. Additionally, the condition of the windscreen washer system and seat belt retractor mechanism, both previously noted as faulty, should be verified. The presence of muddy wheel arches in earlier tests suggests potential rust or corrosion risks that warrant closer examination.
