Insight summary

Jaguar X-Type is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 15,594 represented vehicles and 0.04% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 68.3% from 192,408 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 115,187 miles and an average age of 18.0 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 115,187 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, engine warning light and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Jaguar X-Type looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
