Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear wheel bearing has excessive play (2.6.2)”; “Offside Rear Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings”; “Nearside Rear Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mounting”.
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.
- Thermostat Housing Coolant Leak(Moderate)
The plastic thermostat housing on the Duratec V6 engines becomes brittle from heat cycling and cracks, leading to coolant loss. The leak typically starts as a slow seep but can progress to a steady drip or spray, risking overheating if not caught early.
