CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2021 Jaguar Xf S D MHEV Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2021 Jaguar XF S D MHEV diesel proves reliably robust, with an 85.3% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80%, and only 7.8% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuringly low figure for a buyer. The diesel variant dominates the sample with 102 of 103 cars, and its 85.1% pass rate is solid without being exceptional.

At 24,596 miles median, these cars are running relatively light for three-year-old vehicles, which partly explains the low 0.21 average failures per car. Before buying, check the service history and suspension/electrical advisories carefully, as the 1.3 average advisories per vehicle suggests those are emerging maintenance points—getting a pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel's cooling system and injectors will pay dividends.

What to check before buying a 2021 Jaguar Xf S D MHEV Auto

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.
