AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Jaguar has 22 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 38,781 miles. The recurring suspension and brake advisories, combined with a 5-year MOT gap, make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.
A critical 5-year MOT gap (Mar 2018–Sep 2023) means no mileage verification for 6 years, followed by a significant mileage decrease (Oct 2025: 168,394 mi vs. Oct 2024: 164,668 mi).
Things to check
- No MOT recorded for 5 years (Mar 2018–Sep 2023) — critical unverified history.
- Mileage anomaly: 540-mile decrease (Oct 2024–Oct 2025) — serious data integrity concern.
- Recurring suspension and brake advisories (Sep 2023, Sep 2024) — escalating wear and tear.
- Major emissions failure (Sep 2024) and suspension arm failure (Sep 2024) — significant neglect.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until October 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No recorded dangerous defects or immediate safety failures in recent tests.
- Consistent annual mileage (7,371 mi/yr) before the 5-year gap.
- Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
