2017 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · S13 SAB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the records indicate a developing trend regarding brake component degradation. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 38,526 miles passed but noted an advisory for the front brake discs being worn and pitted. This follows a pattern established in August 2022 where both rear discs were flagged for similar corrosion, suggesting that the braking system is prone to oxidation despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,280 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 10,043 miles and August 2025 at 38,526 miles, the car covered roughly 28,500 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between tests often lead to the brake discs sitting stationary long long enough to develop surface rust, which aligns with the pitting observed in the MOT history. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking assembly to determine if the pitting noted in the 2022 and 2025 tests has progressed into structural thinning of the discs. You should also check the brake pads for uneven wear and ensure the calipers are not seizing due to lack of use. The 2025 advisory also mentioned a rear dog blanket obstructing the inspection of the adult seatbelts, so you must verify that all safety restraints are fully functional and free of fraying or obstruction.
