2005 Jaguar XKR 4.2L Petrol · XK05 ACW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 at 149,322 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a recurring pattern of 시험 failures immediately preceding passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial test only to pass upon retest within a few days. This suggests that the previous owner addresses specific faults only when compelled by legal testing requirements rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage progression is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,111 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 144,057 miles and the August 2024 test at 146,846 miles, the car covered 2,789 miles, indicating a significant dip in usage. The subsequent interval saw 2,476 miles covered up to the August 2025 test. This low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals, which require close inspection to ensure they have not perished or seized from inactivity. While the record shows no recorded defects or advisories on the passes, the lack of detailed failure data masks the specific issues rectified prior to testing. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes and control arm play, as these are common failure points on this chassis. Given the age of the XKR, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting is essential, as the MOT record does not capture the depth of surface rust that has not yet reached a failure threshold.
