2017 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · WG67 BVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in June 2025 at 72,876 miles passed without defects, it followed a significant failure just five days prior. This indicates that the owner only addressed mechanical faults when necessitated by a test failure. The transition from light misting shock absorbers in 2024 to a serious fluid leak in 2025 shows a worsening condition in suspension components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 20 months between the 2022 and 2024 tests, during which the car covered roughly 6,900 miles. The subsequent surge of 16,579 miles covered between April 2024 and June 2025 represents a period of much higher use, which likely accelerated the wear observed on the braking system and tyres recorded in the final failure. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking hardware. The nearside rear shock absorber was previously flagged for a serious leak, so the buyer should verify this was replaced rather than merely cleaned. The front brake discs have a recurring history of pitting and scoring across both 2024 and 2025, suggesting the components may be nearing the end of their service life. Given that the 2025 failure involved four tyres reaching legal limits or showing perishing, the current state of the rubber must be checked to ensure they are not again due for replacement.
