2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · RK10 VPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 June 2025 at 138,240 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. A failure recorded just twelve days prior to that pass revealed multiple critical safety defects, including an excessively worn nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage, an illegal offside rear tyre, and dangerously thin nearside rear brake pads. While these issues were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the history suggests the owner only repairs components once they reach the point of failure. At 138,240 miles over 16 years, the Jaguar averages approximately 8,640 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for an executive saloon. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with 12,578 miles covered between October October 2022 and May 2024, and another 12,398 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This consistent accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent internal component degradation seen in cars left for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and structural integrity. The MOT record flagged recurring issues with front suspension arm bushes and ball joint dust covers across 2022 and 2024. More critically, the May 2024 advisory noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame. Although not classified as seriously weakened at that time, rust on Jaguar components of this age requires close-up inspection to ensure it has not progressed into structural perforation. Given the recent history of worn tyres and brake pads, the current state of all four consumables and braking hardware should be verified to ensure they are not again nearing the legal limit.
