2007 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L Petrol · SL07 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 71,690 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a minor failure at 71,678 miles for a faulty offside rear stop lamp and an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper. These failures represent minor consumable and electrical issues rather than systemic mechanical decline. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,773 miles per year. The data shows a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of distance. Between December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered 795 miles, while the most recent interval between December 2024 and December 2025 saw a significant increase of 16,319 miles. This sudden surge in usage suggests the vehicle may have transitioned from long periods of standing to more regular road use recently. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern regarding brake components. The tester flagged slight corrosion to the front brake hose ferrule in both 2019 and 2021, and thin rear brake pads were noted in December 2014. While these issues appear to have been addressed or have not progressed into major failures, a buyer should carefully inspect the condition of all brake hoses, calipers, and lines for signs of degradation or weeping. Given the low average mileage, rubber components and seals may be prone to age-related perishing despite the low distance travelled. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension system and chassis, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized components or dry rot in bushes due to infrequent movement. Although no structural corrosion has been flagged in the records, the age of the Jaguar S-Type necessitates a thorough check of the underbody and mounting points. The recent increase in annual mileage means the vehicle is now being driven more frequently, so checking the current state of the tyres and fluid levels is advisable.
