Diesel Jaguar E-Pace: MOT pass rate
88.7% of diesel Jaguar E-Paces pass the MOT first time, measured across 18,421 DVSA tests on that fuel type alone. Average mileage at test was 43,981.
Diesel against the other Jaguar E-Pace versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 88.7% | 18,421 |
| Petrol | 91.5% | 5,337 |
| All Jaguar E-Pace | 89.3% | 23,763 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Diesels carry DPFs, EGR valves and stricter smoke limits, so emissions and exhaust faults account for failures petrol cars never see.
On the Jaguar E-Pace specifically, petrol is the strongest at 91.5%, and this diesel version sits 0.6 points below the 89.3% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average diesel Jaguar E-Pace had covered 43,981 miles at test, against 35,083 for the petrol. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Jaguar E-Pace page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
