2008 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · RDM 26

This Jaguar XKR presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 48,885 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to January 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness and likely benefits from proactive maintenance. The mileage is very low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,716 miles per year. A slight anomaly appears between the January 2025 test at 49,197 miles and the January 2026 test at 48,885 miles, where the recorded mileage decreased. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error by the tester or a potential odometer correction. Aside from this, the growth from 45,024 miles in January 2022 to 49,197 miles in January 2025 shows light, consistent usage. While the MOT history is devoid of flagged defects, the low mileage and age of the car introduce specific risks. Long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, which may not trigger an MOT failure but affect drive quality. A buyer should manually check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized sliders or pitted rotors. The absence of any advisories regarding structural integrity or corrosion is positive for a vehicle of this vintage. However, an in-person inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres to ensure they have not aged out, regardless of tread depth. Checking for oil leaks and verifying the health of the cooling system is recommended, as seals can shrink and leak when a high-performance engine is not exercised regularly.
