Which Jaguar XF years should I avoid?

The Jaguar XF build year that fails most for its age is 2015: index 110.5 (95% CI 108.5–112.4) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 60,606).

Build year matters for the Jaguar XF: 2015 Jaguar XFs fail more than their age would predict, 2017 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.
