2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0L Petrol · RO18 DZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 14 May 2026 at 35,296 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. A failure recorded just three days prior to the latest pass revealed multiple defects including thin brake pads on both axles and perished, worn front front tyres. While these issues appear to have been rectified, the history indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they fail inspection rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 35,296 miles averages to approximately 4,412 miles per year. This low usage is consistent with the slow degradation observed in the MOT records. Between September 2023 and May 2026, the car covered only 9,598 miles, yet the tester flagged the front tyres for perishing, edge wear, and sidewall cracking in multiple tests. This suggests the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, which causes rubber-based components to dry out and age regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of all rubber components, as the record highlights recurring issues with tyre perishing and sidewall cracking across three consecutive years. The low mileage also increases the risk of brake corrosion or caliper seizing, as the components may not be exercised frequently enough to clear surface rust. Given the May 2026 failure for thin pads, the buyer should specifically verify the remaining life of the new pads and check the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear following the recent repair.
