2002 Jaguar X-Type 2.1L Petrol · RJ02 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 10 April 2025 at 137,549 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure was noted in early April 2024 at 135,620 miles, the subsequent pass just thirteen days later at a higher mileage suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs immediately rather than allowing them neglect. At 137,549 miles over 24 years, this X-Type has averaged approximately 5,731 miles per year. This is significantly low for a vehicle of this age, which typically suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The mileage data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2025, with annual increments of roughly 2,000 to 2,400 miles. This steady pattern indicates a regular use cycle, though low-mileage vehicles are often prone to degradation of rubber components and fluid- from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to corrosion despite the low mileage. Examine the subframes and suspension mounting points for rust, and check the control arm bushes and coil springs for cracking. Given the age and the clean recent MOT records, ensure you verify the braking system for signs of seized calipers or perished hoses, which frequently occur on cars that are driven only short distances annually.
