2019 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · SC68 OCB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 30 September 2025 at 38,302 miles. While the most recent result is a pass, the failure recorded on that same day reveals a significant lapse in pre-test diligence. The tester identified four missing road wheel fixings across the axle and an excessively fluctuating nearside front service brake, indicating that the vehicle was driven with critical safety-related components neglected prior to the inspection. At seven years of age, the recorded mileage of 38,302 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage with intervals of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles between annual tests from 2023 to 2025. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the gap in mileage relative to age means the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can lead to brake corrosion, seized calipers, and degradation of rubber-based bushings. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the wheel assemblies to ensure all fixings are torqued to specification and show no signs of rounding or theft. The fluctuating nearside front brake noted in September 2025 suggests a warped disc or a sticking caliper, which should be checked for uneven pad wear or heat damage. Given the low-mileage profile, inspection should also look for surface pitting on the brake discs and cracking in the tyres, as these are common issues for vehicles that are not driven frequently.
