2016 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · SS16 LDF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and brake component condition. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 37,176 miles, the tester identified corrosion on the rear sub-frame and surface pitting on both front brake discs. While these issues did not result in a failure, the progression of rust across the car support bar since the March 2025 test indicates that structural degradation is advancing rather than being addressed. At 37,176 miles over ten years, this Jaguar has covered a significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between September 2022 (18,160 miles) and August 2023 (27,580 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly ten thousand miles in eleven months. The low usage frequency likely explains the recurring pitting and scoring on the brake discs, as vehicles that sit stationary often suffer from atmospheric oxidation on surfaces that are not regularly cleared by frequent use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame to determine the depth of the rust noted in the last two tests. Because the corrosion is now described as being across the support bar, the structural integrity of the chassis could be at risk if the oxidation is not treated or replaced. Furthermore, the front brake discs should be checked for thickness and lip wear, as the persistent pitting across four consecutive tests suggests the components are nearing the end of their functional life and may require replacement to ensure safe braking performance.
