Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
When viewing this vehicle, you must request a full service history to see how the reported oil leak has been managed. Given the 2025 MOT advisory regarding a corroded rear sub-frame, it is essential to check if any remedial work was actually carried out or if it remains a progressive issue.
Negotiate based on the potential upcoming costs for suspension refurbishment. The MOT history shows multiple instances of worn suspension arms, ball joints, and bushes (notably in 2024), which are common high-cost maintenance items on this model. Ensure all tyres are currently in good condition, as the history shows repeated issues with cuts, bulges, and wear.
Running this 2.2-litre diesel Jaguar will involve significant costs. While diesel engines of this era can be efficient on long journeys, the high mileage suggests it has been used heavily, potentially impacting fuel economy if maintenance is deferred.
Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs due to the complexity of the suspension system and the age of the vehicle. Insurance groups for the XF are typically mid-to-high, and you should factor in the cost of premium tyres, as the vehicle has previously been fitted with high-performance 255/35 ZR20 rubber which is expensive to replace.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underbody. The 2025 MOT record specifically noted a corroded rear sub-frame and an oil leak; you should check for signs of active leaks and the severity of the corrosion.
Inspect the suspension components closely. The 2024 MOT failures were extensive, involving multiple upper and lower suspension arms, ball joints, and bushes. Check for any knocking or creaking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces. Additionally, examine the brake discs and pads, as the 2025 record highlighted pitted and worn front discs.
This 2013 white Jaguar XF diesel has covered 167,033 miles as of July 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,204 miles per year. While it passed its most recent MOT, the vehicle has a history of multiple failures involving suspension components, tyre damage, and sub-frame corrosion. The high mileage combined with recent advisories regarding oil leaks and brake wear makes this a high-risk proposition.
Aggregate data from over 107,000 vehicles shows an 82.8% MOT pass rate for this model, with tyres and headlamps being common failure points.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR XF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Water Pump Failure (3.0SC & 5.0 V8)(Serious)
The water pumps on 3.0 supercharged V6 and 5.0 V8 engines are prone to premature failure, sometimes lasting less than 20,000 miles. Coolant enters the bearing housing and corrodes it, causing the impeller shaft seal to wear and leak coolant externally.
- Boot Loom Wiring Failure(Moderate)
The wiring loom running into the boot flexes every time the boot is opened and closed, eventually causing the wires to fatigue and break. This disables the rear camera, boot lights, number plate lights and sometimes the rear sensors.
