2017 Jaguar F-Pace 2.0L Diesel · YY67 OAJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass in May 2026, but the immediate history reveals a significant lapse in maintenance standards just prior to that result. While the 2024 and 2025 tests showed no defects, the failure on April 30, 2026, identified multiple critical safety issues that were deemed dangerous. This indicates a transition from stable operation to a period of neglected mechanical upkeep, which was only rectified in time for the re-test one month later. At 77,918 miles over nine years, the F-PACE averages approximately 8,658 miles per annum. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a premium SUV. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing between 2023 and 2026, suggesting the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. However, the 2026 failure highlights that despite the average mileage, specific components such as the track rod end and wheel fixings were not being monitored until they reached a point of failure. A physical inspection must focus on the front suspension and wheel assembly due to the April 2026 failure for excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. The buyer should verify that the nearside rear wheel fixing has been properly replaced and torqued to specification. Furthermore, the tyre pressure monitoring system was flagged as a major defect for being malfunctioning; a functional check is required. Given that both rear tyres were previously below the legal limit, the remaining tread depth and age of all four tyres should be evaluated to ensure even wear and safety. Buying score: 52 Risk level: Medium.
