2007 Jaguar S-Type 2.7L Diesel · S7 TRJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of accelerating structural and suspension component degradation. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 93,534 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just four days prior. This indicates that the owner is reactive to faults rather than proactive, and the underlying issues with the chassis remain unaddressed. The persistence of corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting areas across multiple years suggests that the vehicle is nearing a stage of structural failure. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,534 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. This low-use pattern suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which often correlates with the specific failures seen in rubber components and surface rust. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered 5,730 miles, yet this short distance saw multiple failures related to track ends and suspension bushings, indicating that age-related wear is a greater concern than mileage. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear subframe and mounting points, as the tester consistently flagged corrosion in these areas since 2025. Although the records describe the corrosion as not seriously weakened, the presence of rust on both rear coil springs and the subframe indicates a deteriorating environment. The lower rear suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages are also flagged as worn or perished, suggesting the suspension geometry is likely compromised and will require imminent replacement to maintain handling quality.
