2017 Jaguar F-Pace 3.0L Diesel · VV54 ADS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 57,860 miles passed only after a significant failure four days prior. This failure highlighted multiple safety-critical issues, including two tyres below the legal tread depth limit and worn braking components. While the vehicle was rectified to pass, the pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a gap of 3,533 miles between the March 2023 test at 40,458 miles and the December 2024 test at 48,791 miles, followed by a 9,069-mile interval leading to the December 2025 test. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which explains the recurring perishing and cracking of tyres noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows recurring issues with pitted front discs and thin rear pads dating back to 2023 and 2025, suggesting the braking hardware is nearing the end of its functional life. The frequent mention of perishing rubber and nails across multiple tests indicates that tyres may be being neglected due to age rather than just tread wear. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushings for signs of cracking, as the low-mileage history of this Jaguar often masks dry rot in components that the MOT tester does not fully evaluate.
