2018 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · VN18 CKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 29 April 2026 at 31,566 miles passed following a failure just one day prior. This failure identified a critical offside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords and perishing or cracking on multiple other tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures suggests the owner only addresses these components once they reach a legal limit. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,946 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but slow accumulation, moving from 24,891 miles in April 2024 to 27,633 miles in 2025, and reaching 31,566 miles in the most recent test. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation. The cracking and perishing noted in the 2026 test are classic symptoms of tyres sitting for long periods, leading to oxidation. A buyer must inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for further dry rot, as the record indicates a history of age-related degradation. Because the car is driven infrequently, a physical inspection should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are not used regularly. The MOT history does not flag any structural integrity or suspension bushing issues, but a thorough check of the rubber control arm bushings for cracking is warranted given the age and the low-mileage profile of the Jaguar.
