Independent assessment

Inspection findings

Upon completing the inspection I think the jaguar presents as an honest car. It has plenty of age related cosmetic marks/scratches but overall seems mechanically sound.
The a/c compressor has been replaced approximately 2 years ago and all visible pipes etc all look solid.
I have not identified any structural corrosion, just the 2 patches on the body but these are minor
The car pulls strong and stops as it should. It’s a very comfortable drive and gear changes are smooth and quick
It has rusty suspension parts underneath as expected for a used car of almost 20 years old. Nothing seems to be worn out.
I hope this helps with your decision and please let me know if I can answer any questions

Plug-in diagnostic

1st Scan Of All Systems

Lots of old codes stored. My suspicion was from a previous flat battery. I asked the seller if it has had a flat battery and he confirmed a long time ago. No fault codes came back after road test
