My MOT tester was showing me one that was owned by an old boy, looked almost like new until it was up on the lift and underside was so bad it was beyond economical repair. The sad part was the car had only done mid 20'sk miles and the owner was almost in tears as he thought his Jag would see him out.

I haven't checked the car closely, only found out about it tonight
I know nothing about Jags, but I'll have a proper look if anyone wants me to
