Which Jaguar X-Type years should I avoid?

The Jaguar X-Type build year that fails most for its age is 2004: index 106.7 (95% CI 104.7–108.7) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 22,713).

Build year matters for the Jaguar X-Type: 2004 Jaguar X-Types fail more than their age would predict, 2009 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

37.7% of Jaguar X-Types that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 36.1% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 15,652). The failure most likely to come back is identification of the vehicle: 38.1% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Jaguar X-Type cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Jaguar X-Types tested at age 14, about 36 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 44. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Does the Jaguar X-Type fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 67.2% of Jaguar X-Types failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 1,013 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, Finland and the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.

Jaguar X-Type MOT: quick answers

What is the Jaguar X-Type first-time MOT pass rate?

58.2% of first attempts passed in 2024 (24,451 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 24,451 primary tests: 41.8% failed first time and 63.8% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 98.6 is shown separately.
