Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to significant structural concerns. While the low mileage is attractive, the recent major failure for sub-frame corrosion is a serious red flag for an older Jaguar.
The primary focus for this purchase must be a thorough structural inspection of the underbody. The 2021 failure for a 'Nearside Rear Sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened' is a major repair that must have been addressed professionally. Ask for invoices and photographic evidence that the sub-frame was replaced or treated to safety standards, as a poor repair here is both dangerous and expensive.
Beyond the rust, check the service history for the 2.5L V6 engine. At this low mileage, seals and gaskets can dry out and leak despite minimal use. Ensure the timing belt has been replaced according to time intervals rather than mileage, as the car is over 25 years old. A failure of this component would be catastrophic for the V6 engine.

Common Problems: JAGUAR X-TYPE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Sill Corrosion(Serious)
The plastic sill covers trap moisture and road salt, leading to terminal rust that is hidden from view until it fails an MOT.
- AWD Transfer Box Failure(Serious)
The transfer box on 2.5 and 3.0 AWD models holds very little oil and has no service interval, leading to bearing failure.
