Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Jaguar F-Pace HSE Owners

These checks follow this Jaguar F-Pace HSE's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Jaguar F-Pace HSE.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

• the suspension joints — “ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Jaguar F-Pace HSE. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
