AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Jaguar has 4 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 23,356 miles. The 2009 MOT gap and a 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating for a 2004 model are also concerns.

The vehicle shows 23,356 miles at its first MOT in June 2007, then only 5,619 miles over the next 2 years, indicating a severe and unexplained drop in usage.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 40,208 miles over 22 years (June 2007: 23,356 mi, July 2010: 40,208 mi).
  • Major failure for excessive smoke from turbocharged engine (June 2008) — critical for a 2004 diesel.
  • MOT history gap: No MOT recorded for 2009 — suggests potential SORN or off-road use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2004 vehicle — highly unusual for its age.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • No recurring MOT failures or advisories found in the limited history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from July 2010, indicating it was roadworthy at that time.
  • The 2008 failure for excessive smoke from a turbocharged engine was immediately rectified.
