AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Jaguar has 18 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 52,126 miles. The mileage trajectory also shows significant anomalies, particularly low usage before 2020 and recent very low annual mileage.
The vehicle shows a critical anomaly: extremely low mileage (604 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2020, followed by suspiciously low usage (380 mi/yr equivalent) before Oct 2025, indicating potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2021-10-01 (test 128095) — immediate safety risk.
- Recurring brake disc advisories (Aug 2019, Oct 2020) escalated to MAJOR failure (Oct 2021).
- Recurring tyre advisories (Oct 2021, Oct 2022) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring suspension advisories (Oct 2022, Oct 2023) suggest ongoing structural issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-22, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since Oct 2025, suggesting current owner is maintaining it.
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,581 miles/yr (pre-2020) aligns with typical UK usage.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
