Every Jaguar Xf model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2015 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Jaguar Xf:

The 2015 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 3.4 points more often than the Jaguar Xf average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What an 11-year-old car fails on

A 2015 car is 11 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, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2015 Jaguar Xf the average at test was 80,004 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.

The strongest year for this model is 2018 at 89.1%, and the weakest in our data is 2009 at 68.5%. That 20.6 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2015 car against a newer one tells you very little.
