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

This 2007 Jaguar has 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 21,649 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly suspicious, showing extremely low usage for many years, which is a major red flag for a 19-year-old vehicle.

The mileage shows a significant anomaly: 78,557 miles by Jun 2018, then only 79,615 miles by Jun 2019, indicating extremely low usage for several years.

Things to check

  • MOT history shows 6 failures and 12 recurring advisories, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Suspension arm ball joint dust covers failed repeatedly (Mar 2022, Mar 2024, Mar 2025).
  • Brake disc and pad wear advisories are recurring across multiple tests (Jun 2019, Aug 2020, Mar 2023).
  • Unusually low mileage for a 19-year-old vehicle (4,362 miles/yr average).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on the most recent MOTs.
