Jaguar E Pace (2017)
2017 Jaguar E Pace
CarHunch analysed 222 real MOT records for the 2017 Jaguar E Pace. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Jaguar E-Pace posts a first-time pass rate of 89.9%, a solid 10 percentage points ahead of the UK average, and the diesel version performs particularly well at 90.1%. However, 22.5% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is notably high and worth investigating on any used example you're considering.
With a median mileage of 37,094 miles for a seven-year-old car, these E-Paces are running well below the typical 50,000-mile mark, suggesting lighter use or higher-spec ownership. The average car picks up 7 advisories during testing but fewer than one outright failure, pointing to minor wear items rather than structural problems—though you should still factor in servicing costs given the brand's premium maintenance profile and have any candidate inspected for that dangerous defect history.
What to check before buying a 2017 Jaguar E Pace
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
