Jaguar Limo MOT Reliability Overview
The Jaguar Limo is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 116 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 2 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 81.0% and a failure rate of 19.0%, which is well above the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Jaguar Limo earns a "Excellent" reliability rating. The average Jaguar Limo presents for MOT with approximately 55,342 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2002 models achieve the highest pass rate at 83.3%, while 2005 models have the lowest at 82.4%. This 0.9 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Jaguar Limo is Suspension, affecting 22.4% of all tests. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. The second most common issue is Brakes at 11.2%. Tyres rounds out the top three at 11.2%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Limo is likely to perform.
Suspension — 22.4% of failures
Suspension issues account for 22.4% of MOT failures on the Jaguar Limo. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Brakes — 11.2% of failures
Brakes issues account for 11.2% of MOT failures on the Jaguar Limo. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Tyres — 11.2% of failures
Tyres issues account for 11.2% of MOT failures on the Jaguar Limo. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
