AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Jaguar has 13 MOT tests on record with a 85% pass rate and 87,722 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the underlying issues and lack of transparency make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a suspiciously low mileage of 22 miles/year before Jun 2023, followed by a 3-year gap (Apr 2020 to Jun 2023) with unverified mileage, and then a sudden spike to 126,790 miles by Jul 2023.
Things to check
- Jun 2023 MOT failure: Nearside Rear Inner Subframe mounting excessively corroded, significantly reducing structural strength.
- Jun 2023 MOT failure: Offside Rear Inner Subframe mounting excessively corroded, significantly reducing structural strength.
- Apr 2020–Jun 2023: Unverified mileage during a 3-year period, indicating potential odometer fraud or long storage.
- Jul 2023: Recent advisory for corroded Nearside Rear Inner Subframe mounting, a known structural weakness.
Working in its favour
- No current MOT failures recorded as of the last test in Jul 2023.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate until July 2024, despite the history.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects were recorded on the most recent MOT.
- The vehicle has a consistent annual mileage of 8,167 miles/yr, averaging UK norms.
