2019 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · V6 TAB

The vehicle remains in roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline in peripheral component health. The most recent test in September 2025 at 26,422 miles passed, but introduced new advisories regarding tyre condition that were not present in previous years. While the car passes tests, the persistence of oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber over the last two years indicates a slow-developing seal failure that is stable for now but requires monitoring. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,775 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered only 4,678 miles, suggesting very light use or long periods of inactivity. The usage increased slightly in the final year, with 5,866 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This low-usage pattern often leads to degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the perishing noted on the latest MOT record. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a functional leak requiring immediate replacement. The September 2025 advisory regarding the nearside front tyre cracking and the offside rear tyre cut suggests the rubber is reaching its age-related limit rather than tread exhaustion. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
