2014 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · SFZ 655

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 14 June 2025, though the maintenance trend indicates a worsening condition regarding structural and mechanical integrity. While the car passed its most recent test, the presence of multiple advisories alongside a failure for an engine malfunction indicator lamp suggests that the vehicle has required recent intervention to remain roadworthy. The transition from a clean pass in December 2023 to a failure and subsequent advisory list in June 2025 highlights a decline in the condition of critical components that were previously unblemished. The recorded mileage of 45,755 miles over a twelve-year period averages approximately 3,800 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this class. This light usage pattern often leads to issues stemming from inactivity, such as seized components or accelerated corrosion, rather than high-mileage mechanical wear. The gap between the July 2022 test and the December 2023 test suggests a period of infrequent use, which correlates with the onset of the corrosion-related advisories noted in the most recent inspection. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and anti-roll bar linkages, as the current advisories indicate that surface oxidation is becoming a recurring concern. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, these components may be suffering from environmental degradation rather than heavy load stress. Furthermore, the front brake discs require immediate assessment to determine if they have reached their minimum thickness since the June 2025 test. Any remaining engine management light issues should be investigated via diagnostic equipment to ensure the previous malfunction was fully rectified rather than temporarily suppressed.
