2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · ST60 AEN

The 2010 Jaguar XF presents a mixed maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-14 at 83,982 miles resulting in a pass. However, a failed test on 2025-10-09 at the same mileage suggests unresolved issues, though no defects were recorded. Previous tests in 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns, with passes and failures occurring within days of each other. This instability indicates potential recurring problems, possibly linked to testing inconsistencies or unresolved mechanical faults. The absence of recorded defects limits definitive conclusions, but the frequency of failures raises concerns about the vehicle’s reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,982 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 5,249 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust systems due to corrosion or lack of use. A notable gap exists between the 2023 test at 78,887 miles and the 2024 test at 82,237 miles, reflecting a 3,350-mile increase in 12 months, followed by minimal growth in 2025. Such irregularity may indicate inconsistent driving patterns, increasing the risk of component degradation from prolonged standing. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. The brake system requires scrutiny, particularly for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the proximity of failed tests. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the exhaust system for corrosion, which is common in vehicles with limited use. While no defects were recorded, the MOT history implies a need for thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness beyond the test results.
