For Sale - my beloved 2007 XJ6 which I have owned for 10 years is looking for a new home.
The car is in great condition for its age and has been well looked after, but as with all cars of a certain age, it does now need some TLC. I no longer have the bandwidth to continue maintaining it.
I will give an honest appraisal of the issues I know need fixing - the rest in terms of service history, maintenance and regular care means you're still getting a lot of car for the money, if you are prepared to spend a little more you will have a great car that should last many more years.
The car has done a mix of local (30%) and motorway (70%) driving in the time I've owned it.
Highlights:
**Full Jaguar Service History** - serviced / parts and maintenance all supplied from JLR dealership local to me.
- Engine is solid, punchy and still sounds fabulous. 135K Miles.
- Cream Leather interior - generally very good. One or two minor marks but otherwise looks good as new. Driver seat wear commensurate with daily use, but still well maintained.
- Heated Seats
- Heated Mirrors
- Parking Sensors
- Toolkit (present, with locking wheel nut)
- Timing chain (serviced per manufacturers guidance)
- Overall really good condition - interior is very good, with the exception of the headlining starting to sag (a known feature of old Jags).
- MOT due November 2025.
- Exterior - a few blemishes, one surface scratch to driver door (jealous neighbour), small dent to driver side wing above headlight, small area of paint bubble to passenger side door. Otherwise the paintwork is sound and she cleans up very nicely.
- Alloys ok, some scuffs.
Things I've fixed/replaced/cried and laughed about, and lived to tell the tale (this list is not exhaustive):
- Electrical wiring loom
- Drivers mirror (due to mirror heater defect)
- DPF filter (historically replaced, occasionally still get the 'DPF Full' amber light on, but an energetic drive usually clears it)
- Undertray / fixings
- Windscreen washer pump
- Fuel tank straps
- Front track rod ball joints
- Suspension components (arms/wishbones/bushes) as required over time
- Rear brake drums
Stuff that will need fixing if you want to enjoy this car for many more years:
- Gearbox sump pan is showing some oil leaking - needs investigating. Gearbox can be a little sticky coming out of Park, so suggest needs work.
- Exhaust fumes escaping - cat seals - Jaguar recommended either to use a repair kit, or if no expense is spared, the replace the catalytic converters.
- Pipes/corrosion (brake pipes, general wear and tear, need replacing)
Tyres/brake pads will need maintenance in line with regular servicing (already recommending to replace soon at last inspection)
Lastly, please note that the car has a few registration plate changes:
- Plate from first registration was BG07 BHO
- Private plate on the car from 2016 until 2025
- When I took the private plate off - the DVLA issued me with a new registration LS07 LFV, which is the plate on the car now, and on the V5. This is because I had made an administrative error during the initial transfer to my private plate, and so as a result, BG07 BHO is on retention (I have the retention certificate).
£3000 ONO
