2010 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · ST60 AFA

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of worsening structural and suspension issues. While the most recent test on 5 April 2025 at 100,658 miles resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged multiple advisories regarding corrosion and worn components. Specifically, the nearside rear suspension arm shows both corrosion and a worn pin or bush, while both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms are noted as corroded. This follows a pattern of escalating deterioration in the chassis and suspension assembly that has been building since at least 2018. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 24,718 miles in 2013 to the current 100,658 miles in 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest long periods of inactivity, though the transition from 40,843 miles in 2015 to 59,891 miles in 2016 indicates a period of slightly higher usage. The data provides a reliable longitudinal view of the car's mechanical life. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside, specifically the rear sub-frame and suspension mounting points. The 2023 test at 91,459 miles identified rear sub-frame corrosion, and the subsequent two years of advisories regarding corroded suspension arms suggest that oxidation is a persistent issue. The tester also noted an inability to inspect the sills due to plastic side skirts in the 2024 and 2025 tests; this is a significant risk as it masks potential structural rot in the sills. The suspension system requires immediate attention, as the record shows a history of failing on broken coil springs, worn shock absorber bushes, and fractured anti-roll bar linkages. Recurring issues with suspension bushings and arm corrosion indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase of more frequent and costly component replacements. Any buyer should verify if the recent suspension work was comprehensive or merely addressed the immediate failures to pass the test.
