2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · RF60 FOH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 16 March 2026 at 91,449 miles. The tester initially recorded a failure regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp on that same date before the vehicle passed upon retest. Maintenance records indicate a generally stable trend over the last three years with no major mechanical defects recorded beyond standard consumables. The absence of critical failures since early 2023 suggests the core running gear remains intact, though the plate lamp incident highlights minor electrical upkeep lapses. While the average annual mileage sits around 5,700 miles, recent usage patterns show a sharp increase. Between March 2024 and March 2025 the odometer advanced by nearly 8,000 miles, then jumped further to exceed 11,000 miles in the subsequent year leading to the current 91,449-mile reading. This acceleration contradicts the low-mileage reputation often associated with this model age. Such activity implies heavier recent use which may accelerate wear on suspension bushes and brake components compared to earlier periods of light duty. Potential buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry given the nearside front tyre wear flagged in March 2025. Worn edges often signal alignment issues or deteriorating suspension bushes rather than simple tread consumption. The repeated focus on lighting systems warrants checking the wiring loom behind the rear bumper for corrosion or loose connections common on this chassis. The vehicle requires a thorough examination of the exhaust system and underbody to rule out hidden corrosion before purchase.
