2007 Jaguar X-Type 2.2L Diesel · TF07 DER

The 2025-12-17 MOT at 116,129 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. All earlier tests from March 2023 through November 2025 also showed no recorded faults, indicating a consistent maintenance record without evident recurring problems. The mileage trajectory, however, reveals a pattern of accelerated use: the jump from 104,012 miles in March 2023 to 111,075 miles in March 2024 represents a 7,063‑mile increase within a single year, well above the typical 6,000‑mile annual average for a 19‑year‑old model. Subsequent increments of roughly 5,000 miles per year between 2024 and 2025, culminating in a 7,000‑mile rise in the final two months, suggest the car has been driven more intensively than the nominal mileage would imply. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity, particularly around the chassis rails and wheel arches, merit close visual and tactile assessment given the vehicle’s age and high annual mileage. While the MOT history shows no documented defects, the elevated mileage relative to age warrants a comprehensive physical inspection to verify the condition of critical mechanical components before purchase. The absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the absence of latent wear, so a detailed on‑site evaluation is essential.
