AI verdict AVOID 36/100

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 37,650 miles. While it has a valid MOT until April 2026, the pattern of neglect and recurring advisories on critical safety systems warrants significant caution.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until Oct 2015, but a suspiciously low 709 miles/yr equivalent was recorded before Oct 2015, indicating a potential data anomaly or period of inactivity.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Apr 2025): Nearside Rear Stop lamp(s) all not working (4.3.1 (a) (iii))
  • Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2011-10-14, indicating severe neglect.
  • Dangerous brake failure on 2011-10-14, pointing to critical safety system neglect.
  • Recurring suspension advisories (coil spring, shock absorber) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory post-2015, suggesting regular use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) for a 2008 model is excellent.
