2015 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · RW02 BUS

The Jaguar XF’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-09 at 130,452 miles passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. However, the history reveals an inconsistent pattern: two consecutive failures in July 2023 at 116,176 miles—despite identical mileage readings—followed by a clean pass in September 2023. The subsequent tests in mid-2024 and late-2024 also passed without issues, suggesting either a temporary oversight in the 2023 testing process or a minor, swiftly resolved mechanical issue. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last two tests indicates no ongoing structural or drivetrain concerns, but the 2023 failures warrant scrutiny of components that might have been overlooked or improperly serviced. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 11,859 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage, which would otherwise raise red flags for neglect or excessive wear. The 2023 failures occurred within a single month, suggesting either a rushed or inconsistent testing environment rather than a pattern of deferred maintenance. The most recent test aligns with the current mileage, confirming the vehicle has not been driven significantly beyond its recorded distance since then. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in Jaguar XF models with this mileage. The 2023 failures, though resolved, imply a need to verify whether any underlying issues—such as binding rear brakes or worn suspension mounts—were properly addressed. Corrosion around wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust components should also be examined, as this model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the brake system, including caliper binding and disc thickness, should be checked, as repeated failures could indicate a pattern of neglect or a recurring fault. Tyre tread depth and alignment should be confirmed, though the absence of advisories in recent tests suggests this area has been maintained.
