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

This 2003 Jaguar has 19 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 38,153 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer number of failures and advisories for a 23-year-old vehicle presents significant risks.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 10,336 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, indicating normal usage over its 23-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • 2003 Jaguar with 9 failures and 11 advisories across 19 MOT tests.
  • Brake system failures and advisories are a recurring and persistent pattern (Oct 2008, Oct 2015, Oct 2016).
  • Windscreen failures and advisories are also a recurring issue (Jun 2007, Oct 2016).
  • Engine/Oil advisory noted in Oct 2015, indicating a potential underlying issue.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,336 miles/year, indicating normal usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating for 2017, suggesting good structural integrity.
