Which Jaguar XE years should I avoid?

The Jaguar XE build year that fails most for its age is 2019: index 105.5 (95% CI 101.3–109.8) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 14,040).

Build year matters for the Jaguar XE: 2019 Jaguar XEs fail more than their age would predict, 2017 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

How many years is a Jaguar XE likely to last?

Jaguar XEs aged 5 are forecast to keep taking MOTs for at least 2.9 more years; the survival curve is observed only until age 9, so the true figure is likely higher.

Computed, not measured.

Forecast, not a prediction for a particular car.

If a Jaguar XE fails, does it fail again?

21.2% of Jaguar XEs that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 17.1% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 8,781). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 22.2% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

Jaguar XE MOT: quick answers

What is the Jaguar XE first-time MOT pass rate?

81.0% of first attempts passed in 2024 (43,948 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 43,948 primary tests: 19.01% failed first time and 84.6% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 90.8 is shown separately.
