AI verdict CAUTION 57/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 30,367 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with the mileage anomaly and recurring structural corrosion, warrants extreme caution.

The vehicle recorded suspiciously low mileage (601 mi/yr equivalent) before October 2019, followed by a significant drop in annual usage, which is highly unusual for a 22-year-old vehicle.

Things to check

  • MOT failed on 2019-09-19 for corroded suspension mounting points on both sides.
  • Mileage anomaly: recorded only 601 miles in the first 5 years (Jan 2004 to Oct 2019).
  • Recent MOT expiry 2024-10-21, but the vehicle is currently on SORN status.
  • Euro NCAP rating of 5/5 stars (2017) is excellent for safety, but the vehicle's age and corrosion are major concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Clean MOT pass record since 2018, with no recent failures or advisories.
  • No recurring failures or advisories on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (7,146 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates high safety standards for its time.
