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 21 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 62,669 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with periods of very low annual usage, raising serious concerns about its maintenance and true condition.

The vehicle shows extremely high initial usage (13,291 miles/yr) followed by a significant drop to very low annual mileage (e.g., 52 miles between Sep 2012 and Sep 2013), indicating inconsistent driving patterns or potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Sep 2012 – Sep 2013)
  • Extensive brake system failures (13 major) and advisories (10 related) across multiple tests.
  • Persistent parking brake failures (5 tests) and advisories (3 tests) from 2006 to 2017.
  • High initial mileage (151,927 mi by Sep 2010) followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 52 miles Sep 2012-Sep 2013).

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 9 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety focus for its era.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit high, mileage history, suggesting regular use in its early life.
