The Appeal

If effortless long-distance cruising appeals, you can't go wrong with a Jaguar XJ. The X358 was the final evolution of the X350 platform, a model that introduced an aluminium monocoque, self-levelling adaptive air suspension and a range of advanced electrical systems.

The vendor bought this 2007 example from a broker in April 2009 at 7,448 miles when it was still under warranty. The car has enjoyed a good service history with independent Jaguar specialists and the book was last stamped in March 2023. It comes with MOT until 20th August 2025 and has now covered just 74,616 miles.

The vendor remarks:

"I bought the car from a car broker who I had known for some years. He told me that if I didn't buy it, it was going to go to his father. It was amazing value as it had been damaged then professionally repaired, so I didn't think twice.

I’ve had the car nearly 18 years and been retired now for over ten. My wife has had to give up driving, so it makes economic sense to sell the Jag and keep her Jazz. I had a minor altercation in the Jag last year which I had professionally repaired. Its been a trusted old friend and will be sorry to part with the car"
