2014 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · S1 CDA

The 2 December 2025 MOT at 105,572 miles resulted in a failure, so the Jaguar XF is currently not roadworthy pending repair of the windscreen washer and the off‑side front tyre cut. The preceding 5 December 2024 test at 98,508 miles passed without defect, indicating the vehicle had been roadworthy until the most recent inspection; however, the recurrence of tyres worn to the legal limit in 2020 and 2021 and the repeated failure of minor items suggest an inconsistent maintenance record rather than a clear improving or worsening trend. The odometer has risen from 24,032 miles in September 2017 to 105,572 miles in December 2025, a gain of roughly 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle. Notable gaps include the absence of an MOT between December 2018 and December 2020, and the two tests conducted on the same day at 80,799 miles in December 2022, one of which failed for a registration lamp and windscreen obstruction before passing after remedial work. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the off‑side front tyre for the reported cut, verify full operation of the windscreen washer system, and confirm that the registration plate lamp illuminates with the position lamps. The history of tyres worn to the 1.6 mm limit in 2020 and 2021 points to potential suspension or alignment issues, so examination of suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel bearings is advisable. Additionally, the earlier notices of items removed from the driver’s view and the windscreen obstruction warrant a close look at the windscreen condition, wiper mechanism and any underlying structural rust around the A‑pillars and sills. The absence of any recorded major mechanical failures, such as suspension bush failure, binding calipers, or structural integrity defects, is reassuring, but the repeated tyre wear and minor item failures indicate that previous owners may have deferred routine servicing. A thorough road test should include checking brake disc condition, caliper operation, exhaust system integrity and inspecting for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, to confirm that the vehicle’s structural soundness matches its mileage record.
