2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · RV60 EJC

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive repairs in the most recent inspection. After four consecutive years of clean passes between 2021 and 2024, the October 31 2025 test at 95,640 miles identified three specific advisories. The presence of a deteriorated nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover alongside worn rear tyres indicates the beginning of a wear-related maintenance cycle that was not present in previous years. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, moving from 78,196 miles in November 2021 to 95,640 miles by late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to high-frequency stress, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and dry seals, which may explain the perished dust cover on the suspension linkage noted in the latest test. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage often precedes play in the ball joint itself. The advisory for both rear tyres being worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven camber wear that requires professional addressing. Given the age of the Jaguar XJ, close attention must also be paid to structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points, as these areas are common points of failure on older luxury saloons regardless of low mileage.
