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

This 2001 Jaguar has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 45,465 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of neglect and unaddressed corrosion makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,694 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is a 25-year-old car.

Things to check

  • Major brake failures in 2013, 2015, and 2016, with recurring advisories for corrosion and wear.
  • Major bodywork/sill corrosion failures in 2013 and 2016, with persistent advisories for corrosion.
  • Major steering/suspension failure in 2016, with no subsequent advisories for these systems.
  • Recurring advisories for handbrake, engine oil, and brake hoses across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,694 miles/year, indicating light use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, indicating good structural integrity for its age.
