2018 Jaguar XF 2.0L Diesel · WF68 VMM

This Jaguar XF is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 26 June 2025 at 34,400 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories in the most recent test suggests that previous issues were addressed. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing its tests first time, though earlier records indicate a pattern of neglecting basic consumable wear. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year. A significant gap in usage is apparent between November 2022 at 21,091 miles and January 2024 at 27,924 miles. While the low overall mileage reduces drivetrain wear, the history suggests the car has suffered from periods of standing. This is highlighted by the 29 November 2021 test at 15,044 miles, where the tester flagged perishing and cracking on three tyres, a common symptom of rubber degradation due to inactivity rather than road use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system. The 2 January 2024 test at 27,924 miles flagged pitted rear brake discs and thin pads, and these issues persisted into the 3 January 2025 test at 34,234 miles, where thin rear pads and a corroded brake hose ferrule were noted. Although the June 2025 test was clean, the delay in replacing these components between 2024 and 2025 suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. Verify the current condition of the tyres and brake discs during a physical inspection. Given the history of perishing tyres and pitted discs, ensure the current rubber is not aged or cracked despite having remaining tread. Check for any signs of seizure in the brake calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often develop binding issues when left stationary for extended periods.
