2012 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · YE62 FHA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having maintained a consistent record of passing MOT tests over the last five years. The most recent test in January 2026 at 86,093 miles indicates a pass, though it reveals a recent shift toward minor consumable-related defects. While the car showed a clean record between 2022 and 2024, the latest two entries suggest a slight decline in attention to routine maintenance, specifically regarding tyre condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year over its 14-year life. Between January 2022 at 66,720 miles and January 2026 at 86,093 miles, the vehicle covered 19,373 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme high-mile stress, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to rubber-based components hardening or perishing over time, as seen in the recent advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and wheel assemblies, as the record shows a recurring issue with nails, perishing, and uneven wear. The 2025 advisory noted both rear tyres were worn to the legal limit, while the 2026 test identified cracking on the nearside front tyre. This trend indicates potential alignment issues or simply a delay in replacing tyres before they become hazardous. Given the age of the Jaguar, the buyer should also check the suspension bushings and structural integrity for signs of corrosion, as these were not flagged in the recent tests but remain common points of failure for this model at this age.
