SW13 DTO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2013 Jaguar Xf (SW13 DTO) between June 2023 and July 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.
The most recent test on 13 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 1 failure that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (6 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 12 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mechanical inspection. While the recent MOT pass is positive, the vehicle has a history of multiple suspension and tyre-related failures that suggest maintenance may be reactive rather than proactive.
Given the recent MOT failure in July 2026, you should request documented proof that the offside rear wheel bearing, the anti-roll bar linkage, the upper suspension arm dust cover, and both rear brake discs were replaced. The failure also noted a cut in the offside rear tyre, so ensure a new tyre has been fitted to that corner.
Because this model has seen recurring advisories for worn tyres and pitted brake discs across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2025), you should check the current tread depth on all four tyres and the condition of the braking system. Negotiate on the basis of these recurring maintenance requirements and ensure the service history aligns with the mileage to confirm the vehicle has been maintained according to Jaguar's specifications.
As a 2.2L diesel, this XF will offer relatively efficient motorway cruising, though running costs for a premium saloon are typically higher than a standard hatchback. Expect moderate fuel economy, but be mindful of potential diesel-specific maintenance costs such as DPF considerations.
Insurance groups for the XF are generally mid-to-high, and tax bands will vary based on the specific CO2 emissions of this 2013 model. Maintenance costs can be higher due to the complexity of the suspension and braking components seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,400-£1,800, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
A priority inspection should be focused on the suspension system. The MOT history shows repeated issues with anti-roll bar linkages and ball joint dust covers, so check for any signs of play or perished rubber in the front and rear suspension. The July 2026 failure specifically highlighted a rough offside rear wheel bearing, so listen for any humming or grinding noises during a test drive.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the brake discs and pads. The vehicle has a documented history of pitted and scored rear discs in 2024 and 2026. Finally, check all tyres for uneven wear, as multiple previous MOT tests (2023 and 2024) flagged tyres worn to the legal limit or on the edges, which could indicate alignment issues.
This 2013 Jaguar XF diesel has covered 45,836 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,213 miles per year. However, the MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly with tyres, brake discs, and suspension components like anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints. The most recent failure in July 2026 involved several simultaneous mechanical issues, including a wheel bearing and suspension arm deterioration.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 82.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including tyres and anti-roll bars.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR XF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Water Pump Failure (3.0SC & 5.0 V8)(Serious)
The water pumps on 3.0 supercharged V6 and 5.0 V8 engines are prone to premature failure, sometimes lasting less than 20,000 miles. Coolant enters the bearing housing and corrodes it, causing the impeller shaft seal to wear and leak coolant externally.
- Boot Loom Wiring Failure(Moderate)
The wiring loom running into the boot flexes every time the boot is opened and closed, eventually causing the wires to fatigue and break. This disables the rear camera, boot lights, number plate lights and sometimes the rear sensors.
