2016 Jaguar XE 2.0L Diesel · WJ66 WFZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 125,604 miles flagged multiple issues across all four tyres and the rear brake components, the car still passed the inspection. This follows a previous failure in November 2022 regarding worn front brake discs, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure during the testing interval. At 125,604 miles over ten years, this Jaguar has averaged approximately 12,500 miles per year, which indicates consistent high-mileage motorway use. The record shows a significant jump between November 2022 (77,146 miles) and December 2024 (111,371 miles), where over 34,000 miles were covered in just over two years. This rapid accumulation places heavy stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which is consistent with the recurring wear and tear issues noted in the MOT history. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension geometry and tyre alignment, as the history repeatedly shows tyres worn on the inner or outer edges. This pattern typically indicates misaligned or worn suspension components that have not been corrected. The December 2025 advisory regarding thin nearside rear pads and pitted discs confirms that the rear braking system is nearing the end of its service life. Given the high mileage, a thorough inspection is required to check for binding calipers or further scoring on the discs to ensure the braking system has not suffered heat mechanical damage.
