Hello,
Completely new to the Jaguar brand.
Looking to buy an F-Type Coupe and was hoping to get some help/check
on two cars I like the look. Both are V6 (380)

GV68ZVZ
EY18MJF

Any advice on these cars or tip’s in general to help when I go to have a look at them would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin.

GV68ZVZ
MODEL:F-TYPE / X152
ENGINE:3.0L SC V6 Petrol
COLOUR:AMMONITE GREY/CORRIS GREY
WARRANTY START DATE:14/02/2019
First reg 14/02/19 - Failed MOT # 1 - No JLR services recorded

EY18MJF
ENGINE:3.0L SC V6 Petrol
COLOUR:DARK SAPPHIRE BLUE/LOIRE BLUE
WARRANTY START DATE:06/03/2018
First reg 05/03/18 - Failed MOT # 3 and is currently untaxed - One service at Grange 8768 miles, the other at Harwoods 12034 miles

Go and have a look and be very cautious.
New cars failing MOTS may indicate that the car is uncared for/ill maintained etc, and without service history are a no go in my books.
It's a gamble.

Thanks so much for the info Tel, neither car looks worth looking into.
One has already gone from the dealers website, so maybe sold.
I think I will look at Jaguar dealers cars from now on.
Martin.
