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

This 2001 Jaguar has 26 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 35,257 miles. The vehicle is also currently untaxed and has no valid MOT.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,697 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2018 to 2020.

Things to check

  • Dangerous Tyre defect (Nov 2019) — immediate safety risk.
  • Dangerous Brake defect (Nov 2019) — critical safety component failure.
  • Recurring Major Suspension failures (2019, 2020) — structural integrity concerns.
  • Recurring Major Bodywork failures (2019, 2020) — corrosion and structural integrity.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system in the last 2 years (Dec 2020).
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, mileage history since 2001.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Dec 2020 pass.
