2010 Jaguar XJ 3.0L Diesel · WK10 FJD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in July 2025 at 165,636 miles passed with an advisory for rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern of deferred maintenance seen in 2021, where multiple tyres were flagged at or near the legal limit. While the car consistently passes its inspections, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses consumable wear items when they approach a failure threshold. At 165,636 miles over 16 years, the Jaguar averages approximately 10,352 miles per annum, which aligns with typical annual usage for a luxury saloon. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with a 4,165-mile gap between August 2023 and July 2024, and another 10,766 miles between 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals, fluid components, and mechanical assemblies. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2023 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, and the repeated reports of uneven tyre wear in both 2021 and 2025 indicate potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. These components on a high-mileage XJ can lead to premature tyre degradation and affect vehicle handling quality. Furthermore, the TPMS warning lamp noted in 2021 should be verified to ensure the sensor or system fault has been rectified rather than simply cleared out.
