2009 Jaguar XK 4.2L Petrol · XK09 DPC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record across the last five inspections. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 76,747 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating a stable and consistent maintenance trend. This performance suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to upkeep, addressing potential issues before they escalated into the failures common on vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old Jaguar, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows periods of limited use, such as the 547-mile interval between March 2023 and September 2023, and the more significant 1,115-mile gap between August 2024 and April 2025. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, long periods of standing can increase the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry, which often fail due to time rather than distance traveled. Despite the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to age-related decay and corrosion. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as these can become brittle or perish during periods of inactivity. The braking system requires a close look for of caliper pistons or disc corrosion, as low-frequency use often leads to seizing. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis should be examined to ensure that no hidden rust has compromised the vehicle despite the clean DVSA history.
