2013 Jaguar XK 5.0L Petrol · RT02 ART

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent record of clean passes over the last seven years. The most recent test conducted in March 2025 at 31,064 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four inspections. This trend suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between April 2018 and March 2025, the vehicle covered only 8,946 miles, indicating it has been used sparingly or stored for long periods. While this low usage limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between miles introduce risks associated with stationary vehicles. The data gaps between tests are regular, generally occurring annually, which reflects a proactive approach to scheduling despite the low mileage. Given the lack of recorded MOT advisories, a buyer must focus on physical components that degrade during low-mileage storage rather than active wear. Inspection should prioritize the rubber components such as tyre sidewalls, bushes, and brake lines for cracking or dry rot. Because the car has sat frequently, the brake calipers should be checked for seizing and surface corrosion on the discs. Additionally, the engine oil and brake fluid quality should be inspected for moisture contamination, as these elements degrade over time regardless of the distance recorded.
