Every Jaguar X-Type model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2009 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Jaguar X-Type:

What this means if you are buying a 2009 X-Type

The 2009 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 2.4 points more often than the Jaguar X-Type average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 17-year-old car fails on

A 2009 car is 17 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust. On a 2009 Jaguar X-Type the average at test was 105,927 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

2009 is the strongest year on record for this model at 66.2%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
