2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · RE16 YLL

The MOT history shows a pattern of intermittent failures followed by successful passes. In May 2022, the vehicle failed the inspection, though it passed a re-test just one day later. The most recent test conducted on May 25, 2023 at 171,183 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This cycle suggests that mechanical or safety issues are addressed only when prompted by annual testing rather than as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. With 171,183 miles recorded over ten years, this Jaguar XE has averaged approximately 17,100 miles per annum. This figure represents significantly high usage compared to the national average for a vehicle of this age. High mileage typically accelerates the wear on structural components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hardware. The current record does not provide specific advisories for these parts, but the high mileage increases the likelihood of fatigue-related failures in the drivetrain and exhaust system. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the lower chassis for corrosion, given the age and mileage, alongside previous failures. While the vehicle passed its last test, the check for binding calipers and the condition of the brake discs is essential to ensure the issues that caused the 2022 failure have been permanently resolved. The lack of advisories in the 2023 record indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards, but the high mileage remains the primary risk factor for future mechanical degradation.
