2001 Jaguar XKR 4.0L Petrol · Y596 AJF

The August 2025 MOT at 146,230 miles records a pass with no defects, confirming that the Jaguar XKR is presently roadworthy. The vehicle has moved from a series of failures in 2023 (ABS and SRS warnings) and 2022 (parking brake efficiency) to a clean record in the two most recent tests, indicating that prior faults have been rectified and the maintenance trend is now stable and improving. Mileage has risen modestly over the past five years, from 132,124 miles in August 2020 to 146,230 miles in August 2025, an average of roughly 3,000 miles per year, which is low for a 25‑year‑old vehicle and suggests periods of limited use or standing. The largest annual increase occurred between 2024 and 2025 (3,293 miles), while earlier intervals such as 2020‑2021 (3,587 miles) and 2021‑2022 (3,171 miles) show consistent but not excessive accumulation. A buyer should focus on the recurring structural and mechanical issues highlighted in the history: inspect the front and rear subframe mounting areas for corrosion that has repeatedly been flagged as excessive, verify the condition of the shock absorber bushes and suspension components, confirm that the ABS and SRS warning lamps are inactive, test parking brake efficiency on both sides, examine tyre tread depth and sidewall perishing, and assess the exhaust system for carbon monoxide and lambda compliance, as well as the universal joints of the drive shafts for play.
