Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2018 model has the highest pass rate at 92% from 11,317 tests. The 2009 model has the lowest at 77%. The 15 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Jaguar XFs pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 9 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2007) averages 115,288 miles, while the newest (2021) averages 24,533 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
