2018 Jaguar F-Type 2.0L Petrol · YA18 GHJ

The Jaguar F‑TYPE last passed its MOT on 12 November 2025 at 30 231 miles with no recorded defects, confirming a stable roadworthiness status. The preceding test in January 2025 also showed a clean bill of health, and the only prior advisories—an under‑tread tyre cut and thin rear brake pads in January 2022—have not reappeared. This absence of recurring faults indicates the maintenance trend is improving, with the vehicle receiving sufficient care to keep major systems within specification. Mileage accumulation for the model is markedly low for its age. Over roughly eight years the car has covered 30 231 miles, averaging about 3 779 miles per year. The annual increases were fairly consistent between 2022 and 2024 (≈4 200–5 600 miles each year), but the final year to November 2025 added only 723 miles, suggesting extended periods of inactivity or very light use. The gap of ten months between the January and November 2025 tests is within the acceptable MOT interval but does highlight a recent lull in mileage gain. A prospective buyer should inspect the nearside front tyre for any lingering damage or uneven wear, as the 2022 cut advisory could indicate exposure to road hazards. The rear brake system warrants close examination—check pad thickness, disc condition, and caliper operation to ensure the thin‑pad advisory has been fully resolved. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be assessed for corrosion or excessive play, while the exhaust and under‑body panels need scrutiny for rust, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, verify service records and fluid levels, as low mileage can sometimes mask neglected maintenance during storage periods.
