2018 Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L Diesel · T3 BLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 11 May 2026 at 65,968 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a worsening trend in reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Just six days prior, on 5 May 2026 at 65,897 miles, the car failed on multiple fronts involving all four tyres and brake components. While the vehicle passed the subsequent re-test, the failure record indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical safety issues once they reach a legal failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 29,828 miles in April 2023 to 65,968 miles in May 2026. This consistent usage suggests no long periods of stagnation, which explains the recurring issues with rubber perishing and tyre degradation seen in the records. The jump of roughly 12,500 miles between the 2025 and recent tests confirms a standard annual driving cycle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as records from 2023, 2024, and 2026 repeatedly highlight pitted or scored discs and thin pads. The 2026 failure specifically noted a detached brake wear sensor, which suggests the rear assembly may be poorly secured or improperly maintained. Furthermore, the recurring reports of cracking and perishing tyres across multiple years indicate that the rubber components are being neglected due to age rather than tread depth alone. Verify the current age and condition of the sidewalls to check for dry cracks, as the previous failure for exposed cords on the nearside rear tyre.
