2009 Jaguar X-Type 2.0L Diesel · YC09 RXR

The 2009 Jaguar X‑Type is presently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 2 April 2026 at 167,191 miles. The pass was granted despite a number of advisory items – front tyre tread close to the legal limit, slight play in the nearside rear wheel bearing and general underside corrosion. Earlier in the same day a failure was recorded for lighting and washer‑fluid deficiencies, indicating those faults were remedied before the final pass. Recurring tyre wear and corrosion suggest a stable pattern of minor wear rather than a deteriorating mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 156,470 miles in November 2021 to 156,539 miles in April 2023, an increase of 69 miles over 17 months, then to 167,191 miles by April 2026, adding roughly 10,652 miles in three years. This equates to an average of about 6,000 miles per year between 2021 and 2023 and around 3,500 miles per year thereafter, aligning with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No large mileage gaps appear; the record shows a consistent, moderate accumulation that does not raise immediate concern for hidden high‑stress periods. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the tyre condition, particularly the front tyres that are already at the legal wear limit; replacement may be required soon. The slight play noted in the nearside rear wheel bearing warrants a physical inspection for any knocking or uneven wear on the rear tyres. Underside corrosion, while only advisory, should be examined for any progression that could affect structural integrity or exhaust components. Lighting systems – nearside stop lamp, off‑side headlamp aim and washer fluid delivery – have failed in the past and must be verified as functional. Finally, a visual check of the exhaust heat shield and any tow‑ball/hitch fittings is advisable to ensure no latent defects remain.
