Jaguar F Pace (2021)

700 real MOT outcomes analysed • 89.6% first-time pass rate

2021 Jaguar F Pace

CarHunch analysed 700 real MOT records for the 2021 Jaguar F Pace. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Jaguar F-Pace is a solid MOT performer, with an 89.6% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 6.6% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuringly low figure. Diesel models edge out petrol slightly (90.5% vs 89.1% pass rate), though both are strong, so fuel choice isn't a reliability differentiator here.

These cars are running around 26,000 miles at the median, which is typical for three-year-olds, and the low failure rate of 0.24 per vehicle suggests mechanical issues are rare. If you're buying one, check the service history carefully since the 1.4 average advisories hint at minor wear accumulation, and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on suspension and trim items rather than engine or transmission faults.

What to check before buying a 2021 Jaguar F 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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
