2022 Jaguar I-Pace HSE Black Electric · WJ72 AOC

The Jaguar I-Pace in question achieved a clean MOT pass on 15 December 2025 at precisely 21,092 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent test confirms compliance across all tested systems without any recurring issues or deferred faults. The absence of advisories suggests the vehicle’s core components—battery health, suspension integrity, brake performance, and emissions—were deemed serviceable at the time of inspection. However, the MOT’s limited scope means critical areas like high-mileage consumables (e.g., brake pads, tyres) or hidden corrosion were not explicitly assessed beyond the tester’s observations. The recorded mileage of 21,092 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of around 5,273 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this class and age. Such low mileage could indicate limited use, extended periods of storage, or even potential odometer manipulation, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The gap between the 2025 test and today’s date (2026-07-26) spans just seven months, meaning the vehicle has not yet reached its next MOT due date. This recent testing window provides a relatively current snapshot, but the lack of intermediate maintenance records leaves uncertainty about how the vehicle has been cared for in that time. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that fall outside the MOT’s scope. Focus on the battery’s state of charge and any visible degradation in the high-voltage system, as electric vehicles often experience gradual capacity loss over time. Examine the suspension for worn or leaking bushes, particularly in the rear, where binding or uneven wear is common in low-mileage EVs due to infrequent use. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or glazing, as the MOT’s pass does not guarantee they remain within safe limits. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where prolonged standing can accelerate rust formation. The absence of advisories in the 2025 test does not preclude these issues, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential.
