2018 Jaguar XF 2.0L Diesel · YB68 AEN

The 27 October 2025 MOT at 42,401 miles passed, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the recorded defects – worn near‑ and off‑side front lower suspension arm pins and bushes and persistent brake disc pitting – reveal a stable but moderately deteriorating maintenance trend rather than clear improvement. At 42,401 miles the car is eight years old, averaging just over 5,300 miles per year, a figure that suggests relatively light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation accelerated after 2022, rising from 22,216 miles in November 2022 to 42,401 miles by October 2025, indicating increasing annual usage in the most recent three years. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, verify brake disc thickness and surface condition, and test pedal feel for the reported fluctuation, while also examining the exhaust pipe for the centre‑hanger break and rear pipe leak noted in earlier tests, and checking tyre tread depth and any signs of structural rust. If these components are found to be within tolerance and any wear is remedied, the vehicle can be considered a sound purchase; however, neglect of the recurring suspension and braking issues could lead to premature component failure.
