AI verdict AVOID 49/100

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 22 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 20,364 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the vehicle's age and repeated brake issues warrant significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,935 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine low usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Mar 2025): Offside Rear Brake pipe leaking on a hydraulic braking system (1.1.11 (b) (ii))
  • DANGEROUS brake hose leak (Mar 2023) and DANGEROUS brake pipe leak (Mar 2023) indicate severe safety concerns.
  • Recurring brake system failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., Mar 2020, Mar 2023) point to systemic neglect.
  • The 2012-03-06 test failed on three tyres, a clear sign of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-28 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (5,935 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
