2012 Jaguar XF 2.2L Diesel · SS54 RUN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural integrity and ongoing fluid leaks. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 128,447 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion on both front and rear suspension components along with the offside rear outer sill. This follows a persistent oil leak that was noted in both May 2024 and June 2025, suggesting a long-term engine or seal-related issue that has not been rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 and November 2022, during which the car covered 7,616 miles. Since the 2022 test, the vehicle has accumulated 19,418 miles over three years, maintaining a steady rate of use without long periods of standing. This suggests regular operation rather than neglect, which explains the wear seen on rubber-based components and tyres noted in the older reports. A physical inspection must focus on the structural condition of the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed into structural failure. The 2022 failure revealed a binding offside rear brake caliper and pitted discs, and while these passed subsequent tests, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or sticking pistons. Additionally, the source of the persistent oil leak must be identified to determine if it is a minor seep or a significant gasket failure that could lead to engine damage if left unaddressed.
