Jaguar Reliability for the Year Ending June 30, 2018
General NotesHow do we select "competing car models"? Users of TrueDelta's car price comparison tool most often compare these cars to the Jaguar.
Models and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.
Any result under 5 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Bought the car June 2012 (14 months ago). Have done 24,000 miles with no problems whatsoever. So far it's been the best pre-owned car I have had see full Jaguar review |

Overall, this is absolutely the best highway car I have owned. The closest second was a 2001 Mercedes S430. I bought the Jag knowing that the previous owner had not kept up on repairs. It took me about a year and many thousands of dollars (just in parts) to catch up on the deferred maintenance. The two major items were the intermittent and frequent failure of the ABS / DSC system and the ocassional deflating of the CATS air suspension system. The Jag dealer is VERY expensive for both parts and labor. When I wanted to replce the front upper control arms the dealer was $1000 for parts. Through the Jag owners group I found the Lincoln parts are an exact fit for a fraction of the cost. The dealer wanted $200 labor to just hook up the proprietary diagnostic scanner, and a regular OBD / CAN reader can't read most of teh Jag systems. It was less expensive for me to buy a special scanner than make multiple trips to the dealer. Gas mileage is great; I get 26 - 27 MPG on the highway at 80 - 85 (speed limit 75). The Jag doesn't use a drop of oil betwen changes. However, I am always holding my breath waiting for the next system to fail. I've never been stranded, but it seems like th eold days driving my 1959 TR3 when I'd drive for two hours and work on theb car for an hour. OK, it's not that bad, but this is a $60,000 car and it needs to be maintained / repaired frequently. see full Jaguar review |

Have owned the car for only one week and had to take it in for warranty repairs twice. see full Jaguar review |

It is to 90% a reutation, my last 2 Jaguars (S and XF) have had no problems over 4 years and 140 000 miles. see full Jaguar review |

The car has never left me stranded. However, the gas guage quit qorking and had to be repaired. The interior lights come on and go off by themselves. The car has had squeaks and rattles since day one. see full Jaguar review |

All the wonderful features and systems that make this car what it is come with a price. As with many of the SportLuxury automobiles, there are thousands of 'opportunities for failures'. OK, so my wife's Toyota doesn't need as much attention; it also doesn't have the same Dynamic Stability Control or an aadaptive air suspension. I love teh car wehn it is all working. I do not like the dealer attitude that 'if you bought a Jag, you should know it's going to be expensive to maintain' - a paraphrased quote from a dealer technician. There is little justification for a $200 minimum chnrge to hook up the diagnostic scan tool, and even less to chareg $1000 for an upper control arm that has the Jag logo when the identical design is available with a Lincoln logo for 75% less. The systems in the car are not as reliably as I would like, but the same seems to be true for Infiniti, BMW, and Mercedes. I now do my trouble shooting before I take the car to the local 'foreign car' specialist. The owners forums have more information than you would believe to help trouble shoot issues and find sources for parts. Even if you don't do the work yourself, doign the research can help keep cost reasonable. I love this car on the highway. I'm always a little anxouis waiting to see ewhat needdsd attention next. see full Jaguar review |

Jaguar has a spotty reputation for reliablility, although I have heard that the 2003+ years are better. see full Jaguar review |

Obviously, Jags have a reputation about reliability. Most of the thing I have fixed are wear and tear items and age. I really have not had problems that would not be normal to most cars 8-10 years old. see full Jaguar review |
