2009 Jaguar XJ Sovereign V6SWB Tdvi A 2.7L Heavy oil · X77 JAG

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 25 February 2026 at 115,336 miles where no defects were recorded. This result follows a brief failure in February 2025, which was successfully addressed immediately to achieve a pass just three weeks later. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three successful tests suggests a proactive approach to maintaining mechanical integrity and indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,784 miles per year over its 17-year life. Between November 2022 and February 2026, the car covered 18,421 miles, representing a steady but modest usage rate. The recent interval of 5,961 miles between March 2025 and February 2026 shows this typical annual accumulation remains constant. Such low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or fluid contamination during longer periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the air suspension system and lower bushings, as these are common failure points on the XJ platform regardless of low mileage. While the MOT record is currently clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for corrosion on the structural subframe and exhaust mounting. Given the single failure in early 2025, verifying the specific nature of that fault would ensure that the underlying component was properly replaced rather than merely adjusted. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable, as low usage can sometimes lead to component seizing over time.
