2021 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · SH21 LNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 24 April 2026 at 51,534 miles resulted in a failure due to thin rear brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal minimum limit. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten MOT compliance rather than during routine service intervals. At 51,534 miles over five years, the E-PACE has averaged approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. The data shows a consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 8,200 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which generally prevents the issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension during a physical inspection. The thin rear brake pads were flagged in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, which could indicate a sticking caliper or simply a failure to perform scheduled maintenance. The uneven wear noted on the nearside front tyre in 2025 also points toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature future tyre replacement. Furthermore, the 2025 failure regarding an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) suggests a past electrical or sensor-related fault. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, a diagnostic scan is necessary to ensure no hidden fault codes remain stored in the engine management system. Given the history of replacing consumables only upon failure, a thorough service history check is required to confirm that fluids and filters have been changed according to manufacturer specifications.
