2019 Jaguar I-Pace Electricity · SN19 YOA

The 2019 Jaguar I-Pace currently holds a valid MOT issued on 19 February 2026 at 69,915 miles, but the maintenance trend is not reassuring. That most recent test followed a failure on the same day, where the tester flagged an offside front track rod end ball joint with slight play and both front tyres with ply or cords exposed on the outer edge. The immediate retest passed, suggesting the tyres were replaced and the steering joint addressed, yet the underlying pattern is one of recurring front-end wear rather than steady, proactive upkeep. A year earlier, in February 2025 at 59,430 miles, the car failed on a nearside track rod end with excessive play, a bonnet that could not be secured, and both front tyres worn to the legal limit. That failure also passed on the same day, but the repetition of track rod end defects across consecutive years points to a front suspension and steering system that has been problematic rather than reliably maintained. The mileage progression is broadly consistent with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. From the March 2024 test at 51,517 miles to the February 2025 test at 59,430 miles, the car covered roughly 7,900 miles in eleven months. The jump from February 2025 to February 2026 added about 10,485 miles, bringing the total to 69,915. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the record, and the annual accumulation sits close to the 10,000-mile average expected for this age. The data set is sparse, however, with only three test events across two years, so a buyer cannot rely on the MOT alone to confirm consistent servicing intervals or long-term component care. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension, steering, and braking components. The repeated advisories and failures around track rod end ball joints, combined with a note of play in the steering rack inner joint in February 2025, suggest the steering linkage has seen sustained wear. Check for uneven tyre wear, clunks over bumps, and any free play at the wheel rim. The March 2024 advisory on all front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened at the time, warrants a close look at disc thickness and condition now, given the additional 18,400 miles since that test. Inspect the bonnet catch and secondary latch mechanism, as the 2025 failure indicates a security fault that may have been only superficially corrected. Examine the subframe, suspension bushes, and lower arms for corrosion or deterioration, particularly if the car has spent time standing between uses. The exposed cords on both front tyres in February 2026 raise a question about wheel alignment and possible suspension geometry drift, so a four-wheel alignment check is advisable before purchase.
