1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2L Petrol · ROP 690G

The vehicle maintains an exemplary roadworthiness status, showing a perfectly stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 5 August 2025 at 59,464 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes indicates that the vehicle is maintained to a high standard and that the mechanical and safety components are consistently meeting regulatory requirements without failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 1968, averaging approximately 1,025 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 54,210 miles and the August 2025 test at 59,464 miles, the car covered only 5,254 miles. This low annual usage suggests the car is likely used for seasonal outings or kept in a controlled environment. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals and the settling of fluids if they are not regularly refreshed. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on areas common to low-mileage classic vehicles. The buyer should inspect the structural integrity for hidden corrosion in the sills and floor pans, as MOT testers only check surface-level rust. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake hoses for cracking or perish rot. The brakes should also be checked for binding calipers or corrosion, as these components often suffer from age rather than mileage-related wear.
