1967 Jaguar XK 3.8L Petrol · XK 1505

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 17 June 2025 at 8,070 miles which resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This clean result suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard or that the mechanical systems are currently functioning without immediate failure points under DVSA testing criteria. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of nearly 60 years, averaging only about 137 miles per annum. Between the August 2021 test at 7,536 miles and the June 2025 test, the car covered only 534 miles over a four-year period. This interval indicates the vehicle is likely stored in dry conditions and used sparingly for special occasions. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks associated with long periods of stationary time and fluid degradation. Despite the clean history, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to long-term storage. Particular attention should be paid to perished rubber components, specifically as suspension bushes and potentially seized brake calipers or perished brake lines which can occur due to lack of use. The buyer should also investigate the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion, as low mileage does not protect a vehicle from environmental oxidation over six decades.
