2016 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · SY16 XKC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 38,571 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. This follows a period of minor consumable wear seen in the 2024 test, suggesting the vehicle is currently being maintained to an acceptable standard. The mileage history shows a consistent pattern of low annual usage, averaging approximately 3,857 miles per year. The data shows a steady climb from 16,052 miles in May 2019 to the current 38,571 miles in November 2025. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for infrequent, short trips rather than heavy motorway commuting. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation. The only notable mechanical concern appeared during the November 2024 test at 36,763 miles, where the tester flagged three tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. Specifically, the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres required attention. Although these were resolved by the 2025 test, the uneven wear on the edges suggests a potential need to inspect the wheel alignment or suspension geometry. A buyer should verify that the tracking is correct to prevent premature tyre degradation. Beyond the tyre issues, the MOT history is remarkably clean, with no recorded advisories or failures regarding structural integrity, brake performance, or exhaust emissions since 2019. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on ensuring that the low usage has not resulted in fluid leaks or seized components from lack of movement. The absence of any corrosion or suspension bush defects in the records is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
