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

This 2005 Jaguar has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 72,975 miles. The 2019 test flagged multiple brake and suspension advisories, which are high-risk wear items for a 21-year-old diesel.

The vehicle shows 139,123 miles at the June 2019 MOT, which is unusually high for a 2005 car and raises significant integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 139,123 miles recorded in June 2019 is highly suspicious for a 2005 vehicle.
  • No recent MOT: Vehicle has no valid MOT since 2019, indicating it has not been legally roadworthy for years.
  • Critical advisories: June 2019 MOT noted front brake pads and discs, plus rear discs, and suspension arm advisories.
  • Outstanding recalls: No specific recalls identified in the provided data; verify completion with a Jaguar dealer.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a high safety standard for its time.
  • Consistent mileage: Average annual usage of 9,646 miles aligns with typical UK driving.
  • Single past failure: The 2011-05-03 failure for a rear lower suspension arm was immediately rectified.
  • No recent failures: The June 2019 MOT pass means no recent test failures are present.
