2011 Jaguar XF 5.0L Petrol · T18 XFR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 79,514 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical issues, such as the distorted nearside front wheel noted in October 2022 and the corrosion advisory on the rear subframe mounting in October 2024. The transition from these specific advisories to a defect-free result in late 2025 suggests that previous issues have been addressed or are currently within acceptable tolerances. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The record shows consistent, gradual increases in distance between tests, moving from 22,419 miles in November 2014 to the current 79,514 miles. This pattern indicates regular but infrequent use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, the history shows that this infrequent usage has occasionally led to consumable issues, such as the perished front tyres reported in November 2018 and the tyre wear issues seen in October 2020. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the structural integrity of the rear subframe. Although the October 2024 test at 76,576 miles classified the corrosion on the rear subframe mounting as not excessive, the age of the vehicle makes monitoring for further oxidation essential. The history also shows a pattern of brake component wear, including a leaking offside front brake hose and thin pads in October 2017. While the 2025 test was clear, a physical inspection of the brake lines, calipers, and discs is advisable to ensure no new leaks or excessive pitting have developed. Finally, the record of wheel distortion in 2014 and 2022 suggests the vehicle may have encountered significant impacts. An in-person inspection should verify the current condition of the nearside front alloy to ensure it is free from cracks or further deformation. Given the low annual mileage, checking for signs of age-related degradation in rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, would be a prudent step to complement the MOT data.
