Moderate sample. 418 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This E-Pace diesel is significantly more reliable than the average UK car, with a 92.4% first-time pass rate well above the 80% national benchmark, and only 6.9% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—a low concern for buyers. The diesel variant dominates this cohort at 413 of 418 vehicles tested, and that strong pass rate applies across the board.

At under 30,000 miles on average for a 2021 model, these cars are running light, which explains the low failure count of just 0.21 per vehicle. The typical advisory tally of 2.0 per test suggests minor maintenance items rather than structural problems, so budget for routine upkeep but expect few nasty surprises—pull a full service history before purchase to confirm the oil and filter changes have been kept up.

The 2021 Jaguar E Pace R Dynam SE D MHEV AWD A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 93.8% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 418 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
