2001 Jaguar XKR 4.0L Petrol · Y128 BSL

This Jaguar XKR presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 7 January 2026 at 74,281 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in February 2025 and May 2022, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard of mechanical compliance. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty five year old vehicle, averaging under 3,000 miles per year. The data shows very little usage over the last five years, with only 3,652 miles added between the June 2021 test at 70,629 miles and the January 2026 test. Such low annual mileage often indicates a vehicle used for leisure or one that has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high mileage examples. The only technical concerns appear in the June 2021 record, where the tester flagged worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms. Although these did not cause excessive movement at the time and did not trigger a failure, they represent the only recorded mechanical weakness in the history. The absence of these advisories in subsequent tests suggests the components were either replaced or the wear remained within acceptable limits. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during periods of inactivity. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre flat spots, and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the previous suspension advisories warrant a check of the rear chassis and suspension mounting points for any signs of corrosion or renewed play in the bushes.
