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 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 19,014 miles. The recurring headlamp failures and very low annual usage warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 40,637 miles over 21 years, averaging only 1,903 miles per year, which is highly suspicious and suggests potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 40,637 miles in 21 years (Jan 2005) — indicates potential odometer fraud.
  • Recurring headlamp failures: 2 major failures (May 2021, May 2023) suggest a persistent electrical or mechanical issue.
  • Very low annual usage: averaging 1,903 miles/yr for a 21-year-old vehicle is highly unusual and raises concerns.
  • No recent major failures: while the last two tests passed, the recurring headlamp issues and low mileage are significant.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-20: provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures: the last two MOT tests passed without significant issues.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
  • Consistent retest history: all 2 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same or next day.
