AI verdict AVOID 44/100

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

This 2006 Jaguar has 29 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 33,079 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, makes its condition highly questionable.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage, averaging 8,510 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but the vehicle's age and recurring failures are a major concern.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defects recorded on 5 separate occasions (Apr 2020, Apr 2021, Apr 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024).
  • 8 test failures across 16 MOTs, with 5 of those being DANGEROUS, indicating systemic neglect.
  • Recurring suspension corrosion advisories (Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2026) and subframe corrosion (Apr 2024, Apr 2026).
  • Brake system failures and advisories are a recurring pattern, with DANGEROUS defects in Apr 2024.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistent with UK average, averaging 8,510 miles/year, showing no fraud.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety design for a 2006 model.
  • The car has been consistently tested and maintained, with no large gaps in its MOT history.
