2019 Audi Q2 1.5L Petrol · S555 TJB

The Jaguar XF presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test on 2025-06-18 at 57,281 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A failure recorded on the same day as that pass, for an offside headlamp aim and worn rear tyres, was rectified immediately, demonstrating a responsive owner who addressed the defects without delay. Prior to that single event, the vehicle achieved three consecutive passes with zero defects between 2022 and 2024, indicating consistent mechanical care over a sustained period. The mileage pattern tells a specific story. Between 2022-06-16 at 46,108 miles and 2025-06-18 at 57,281 miles, the car covered 11,173 miles in three years, averaging roughly 3,724 miles annually. That is notably lower than the overall lifetime average of approximately 5,207 miles per year. The vehicle appears to have been used more intensively in its earlier life before settling into lighter, shorter-distance use in recent years. No gaps or sudden spikes in the record suggest the mileage is genuine and the car has been in regular, if modest, service. The only recurring theme in the defect history is rear tyre wear, flagged as worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges in the 2025 failure. Edge wear on the rear tyres of a rear-drive XF can point to suspension geometry issues, particularly worn rear suspension bushes or tracking misalignment, rather than simple neglect. A prospective buyer should inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of both rear tyres carefully, and have the rear suspension and alignment checked on a four-wheel geometry rig. The offside headlamp aim defect was minor and resolved, but verifying that the self-levelling suspension and headlamp aim remain correct is sensible given the car's age. Beyond the recorded defects, the low annual mileage and long periods of lighter use warrant a close physical inspection of structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe, sills, and inner wing arches, where standing can allow surface corrosion to develop. Brake discs and calipers should also be examined for binding or uneven wear, as low-use vehicles can suffer from sticking components that higher-mileage cars naturally keep free. The overall record is strong, but the tyre wear pattern is the one mechanical signal that deserves proper investigation before purchase.
