The record contains 19 passes and 7 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (28 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Lighting (12 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Bodywork (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 75 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Central Rear Seat belt buckle not functioning as intended (7.1.2 (d))”; “Offside Rear Seat belt buckle not functioning as intended (7.1.2 (d))”; “Nearside Front Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))”.
Common Problems: JAGUAR S-TYPE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Lower Wishbone Rear Hydrobush Fluid Leak & Ball Joint Play(Moderate)
The large fluid-filled hydraulic compliance bushes on the curved front lower control arms rupture and weep black fluid, leading to steering shimmy under braking and MOT failure.
- Sill & Rear Subframe Mounting Corrosion Concealed Behind Plastic Covers(Serious)
Road dirt and wet road salt accumulate behind the full-length plastic sill threshold covers and around the rear subframe front mounting heel boards, corroding structural steel out of plain sight.
