Our Verdict
This Jaguar XJ presents a compelling opt
When inspecting this vehicle, focus heavily on the condition of the tyres. While the 2025 MOT noted wear and perishing, the 2026 test was clear, so verify that a full set of premium tyres has been fitted recently. Ensure you check the service history to see if the low mileage is supported by regular oil and filter changes, as diesel engines require consistent maintenance to prevent DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues.
Test the air suspension system thoroughly, as this is a known weak point for the XJ model. Listen for any knocking noises from the suspension arms during a test drive, as these are common failure points across the model range. Ensure all electronic features, including the infotainment and seat adjustments, are fully functional, as these can be costly to repair.
As a 3.0-litre diesel, this XJ will fall into a higher VED (Road Tax) bracket, and fuel economy will be heavily dependent on driving style. Insurance premiums for a luxury vehicle of this calibre are typically in the higher groups, reflecting the cost of parts and specialist labour.
Maintenance costs can be significant for a Jaguar of this age. Budget for premium-rated tyres and specialist servicing to keep the vehicle in good order. You should estimate an annual running cost of £2,200–£2,800, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance.
Begin your inspection by checking the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, referencing the 2025 MOT history which flagged wear and perishing. Ensure the tyres are of a reputable brand and have been replaced rather than just rotated.
Inspect the suspension components, specifically the arms, as these are frequent failure points for the XJ according to aggregate data. Check the headlamps for any signs of condensation or failure, as this is another common MOT issue for the model. Finally, verify that all electrical systems are operational, paying particular attention to the infotainment screen and climate control settings.
Registered in July 2018, this black 3.0-litre diesel Jaguar XJ has covered just 20,259 miles. The MOT history is largely clean, with only one instance of tyre-related advisories in 2025. Given the vehicle's age, the mileage is significantly lower than average, suggesting it has seen limited road use.
The Jaguar XJ generally performs in line with luxury segment expectations, though suspension and tyre-related MOT failures are common across the fleet.
