2015 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · SJ65 VPC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related mechanical issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 88,521 miles identified worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. While the vehicle passed, these defects indicate that the suspension hardware is reaching the end of its functional life, following a period of clean records in 2022 and 2023. At 88,521 miles, the Jaguar has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The data shows a consistent usage profile with a significant jump of over 15,000 miles between June 2024 and July 2025. However, the failure in June 2024 at 72,802 miles due to multiple worn tyres and a supplementary restraint system warning lamp suggests a period where basic preventative maintenance and safety system checks were deferred until the MOT test deadline. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the control arm bushing play noted in 2025. Because these bushes were flagged on both sides, replacement is likely necessary soon to prevent unpredictable handling or premature wear on steering components. Additionally, the SRS warning lamp from the 2024 failure should be verified as cleared to ensure the airbag system was properly rectified and functional, as this represents a critical safety fault that previously failed the vehicle.
