2011 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · S4 WLX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of escalating corrosion and component wear. While the most recent test on 26 June 2026 at 71,958 miles passed, it flagged several advisories that mirror issues found in previous years. The recurring corrosion on the rear sub-frame and front power steering pipes has remained present since at least 2024, indicating that while these parts have not yet reached failure, they are not being treated or repaired. At approximately 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,958 miles is significantly low, averaging roughly 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with approximately 4,000 miles driven between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,900 miles between July 2025 and June 2026. This low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which aligns with the multiple failures regarding brake hoses and steering lines noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond a point where structural integrity is compromised. The tester noted the frame was not seriously weakened in 2025 and 2026, but the persistent rust requires close attention. Additionally, the offside front wheel bearing was flagged as noisy in the June 2026 test, necessitating immediate replacement to prevent further drivetrain or safety issues. The suspension and braking systems also require scrutiny. The vehicle failed on a fractured nearside front coil spring in 2025, following a broken offside front coil spring in 2024; the buyer should verify if both springs have been replaced and if the opposite side shows signs of fatigue. With both rear tyres now close to the legal limit and worn unevenly in the latest test, they likely require immediate replacement. The recurring history of binding brakes and corroded brake hoses suggests the braking system is reaching the end of its service life.
