2013 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · SA13 DBU

The Jaguar XF presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 158,429 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from December 2022 to December 2024 also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available record, indicating the vehicle has met minimum statutory standards consistently over the past three years. The mileage shows a steady accumulation of roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year between tests, below the 12,187 annual average implied by the 158,429 total at 13 years old. From the 2022 test at 133,049 miles to the 2025 test at 158,429 miles, the car covered 25,380 miles across three years. The record is sparse, with only five entries and a duplicated 12 December 2022 date showing both a fail and pass at identical mileage and no defects logged, which suggests an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. No major gaps or sudden accumulation are evident. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high total mileage for a 2013 premium saloon. The clean MOT history offers no flag on structural corrosion or exhaust emissions, but DVSA tests do not assess hidden chassis rot or intermittent drivetrain issues on the XF's aluminium platform. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have addressed consumables before each December test. Verify service history for transmission and timing chain intervals, as the 2.2 diesel and V6 petrol variants carry known high-mileage risks not captured by MOT data alone.
