2019 Jaguar I-Pace Electric · CR53 GGS

As a fully electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by your electricity tariff and insurance group. While you will benefit from lower 'fuel' costs compared to petrol counterparts, insurance for a premium Jaguar model can be relatively high. Tax is currently zero for pure EVs, though you should be aware of future legislative changes regarding road tax for electric vehicles.

Maintenance costs for an I-PACE are generally lower than internal combustion engines due to fewer moving parts, but at 70,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items like tyres, suspension components, and brake fluid changes. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £1,200-£1,600 depending on your annual mileage and charging habits.

Because this specific vehicle has a perfect MOT pass record with no noted failures, there are no specific recurring mechanical faults to watch for in its history. Instead, focus on the high-mileage implications. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension issues common in heavier electric SUVs.

Check the condition of the grey paintwork for any signs of stone chipping on the front fascia, which is common for motorway-driven vehicles. Finally, test all infotainment and driver assistance systems, as these complex electronic components are vital to the I-PACE experience and can be expensive to repair if they fail.
