2007 Jaguar XF 4.2L Petrol · VX57 FMM

The 2025‑10‑21 MOT at 75,951 miles resulted in a pass, but the record shows recurring wear on brakes, tyres and suspension components, indicating a stable yet deteriorating maintenance trend rather than improvement. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, worn brake pads, pitted discs, tyres worn close to the legal limit on both edges, a minor exhaust gas leak, a coolant leak and defective wiper blades, yet no structural failures were recorded. Mileage has risen from 52,938 miles in October 2017 to 75,951 miles in October 2025, averaging about 3,997 miles per year, which is low for a 19‑year‑old vehicle and suggests extended periods of inactivity. The increments between tests are modest, with only 2,827 miles added between the 2023 and 2024 passes and 2,946 miles between 2022 and 2023, confirming a steady, low‑usage pattern without rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension arm pins and bushes on all four corners, verify that the rear and front lower arms have been replaced or re‑greased, inspect the brake pads, discs and calipers for excessive wear or binding, check tyre tread depth and edge wear on both inner and outer surfaces, and look for signs of exhaust corrosion or mounting failure, coolant seepage and windscreen damage. The repeated advisories on suspension components and brake wear indicate that these areas merit close visual and functional assessment during a pre‑purchase inspection.
