2021 Jaguar E-Pace SE Mhev AWD Auto 2.0L Petrol · V5 CHE

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components and suspension integrity. While the July 2025 test resulted in a pass, the record shows a significant accumulation of advisories compared to the previous year. The most recent inspection at 53,947 miles flagged multiple issues, including near-limit tyre tread on both front tyres, light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, and pitting or scoring on all four brake discs. The presence of these advisories suggests that while the car remains legally roadworthy, the degradation of wear items is accelerating. The mileage history indicates consistent usage, with the vehicle covering approximately 11,000 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. This annual average of 10,789 miles aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a five-year-old vehicle. There are no significant gaps in the recorded mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber. Instead, the data reflects a vehicle in regular use, which explains the progressive wear seen on the braking system and tyres. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The report of light oil misting on the front shock absorbers indicates potential seal failure, which may soon require replacement to maintain handling stability. The recurring advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs across all four corners, combined with low brake pads noted in July 2025, suggest the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. The tester also noted uneven tyre wear on the inner edges, which often points to underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes. The history of tyre failures, specifically the July 2024 failure where rear tyres had cords exposed, suggests a pattern of delayed maintenance regarding tyre replacement. Given the July 2025 advisories for sidewall damage and low tread depth, the current set of tyres likely requires immediate replacement. Careful attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake pads and the extent of the disc pitting to ensure no significant metal loss has occurred.
