1999 Jaguar XKR 4.0L Petrol · T792 BGT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 at 113,758 miles, indicating it is currently roadworthy. However, the history reveals a clear trend of age-related material degradation. In the February 2025 test at 113,673 miles, the tester flagged corrosion on both the front and rear suspension. This remains concerning for a vehicle of this age, as structural rust on suspension components can progress and lead to mechanical failure if not addressed through preventative cleaning or replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 27-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. This suggests the car has sat for long periods, which is evidenced by the significant gaps between tests. Between November 2022 and February 2025, the vehicle covered only 23 miles. This pattern of infrequent use often leads to secondary issues with rubber components, which aligns with the multiple failures recorded between 2018 and 2019, where several tyres showed wall cracking and perishing due to dry-rot despite potentially having sufficient tread depth. Maintenance records show a reactive rather than proactive approach. The May 2016 failure at 110,249 miles highlighted seriously weakened rear brake discs and thin pads, alongside corroded front brake pipes. While these were rectified, the recurring appearance of corrosion on brake lines and suspension parts across the decade suggests the undercarriage is susceptible to environmental oxidation. A buyer should specifically inspect the integrity of the brake lines and the condition of the suspension bushings, as the low-mileage status has not protected the vehicle from the effects of time and moisture.
