Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a premium compact SUV with relatively low mileage. The recent MOT history is clean, though buyers should verify service intervals for the 2.0L diesel engine.
When inspecting this specific grey E-PACE, focus on the service history to ensure the 1,999cc diesel engine has had its oil and filters changed according to Jaguar's requirements. Because the mileage is lower than average for a 2018 vehicle, check that the battery and tyres are in good condition, as vehicles used for shorter trips can sometimes suffer from battery degradation.
During your test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain. Since the aggregate data for this model highlights tyres and wipers as common failure points, check the tread depth and the condition of the wiper blades before committing to the purchase. Negotiate based on the age of the consumables if they appear to be nearing the end of their life.
As a 2.0L diesel, running costs will be influenced by your annual mileage. Fuel economy on these models is generally efficient for an SUV, but expect costs to vary depending on whether you drive primarily in urban or motorway environments. Tax and insurance groups for the E-PACE vary by trim, so check the specific insurance group for this AE68UKV registration.
Maintenance costs for Jaguar vehicles tend to be higher than mainstream brands. You should budget for premium parts and specialist labour. An estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically falls in the middle-to-high range for this class of vehicle.
The MOT history for this vehicle shows one failure in December 2023 at 29,266 miles, though no specific defect was listed in the record. You should pay close attention to the tyres, windscreen wipers, and lighting systems, as these are the most frequent failure reasons identified across the 24,210 E-PACE vehicles analysed in our database.
Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as the condition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), which can be a concern on diesel engines that have been driven on low annual mileages. Ensure there are no signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay during your inspection.
This 2018 Jaguar E-PACE (AE68UKV) has covered 35,269 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. This is notably lower than the model average of 8,243 miles per year, suggesting it has been used less intensively than many similar vehicles in the aggregate data. While it experienced one MOT failure in late 2023, the subsequent three tests have passed without any recorded defects.
Aggregate data shows an 89.6% MOT pass rate for the Jaguar E-PACE, with common failures relating to consumables like tyres and wipers.

Common Problems: JAGUAR E-PACE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- AdBlue System Faults(Moderate)
Sensor failures or crystallization in the AdBlue tank can lead to a "No Start" countdown.
- Timing Chain Failure (2.0d Ingenium)(Serious)
The 2.0 diesel Ingenium engine used in the E-Pace is prone to timing chain stretch and failure. The root cause is oil dilution from incomplete DPF regenerations and insufficient oil changes, combined with weak chain guides. If the chain snaps, it destroys the engine by allowing pistons to hit valves.
- 9-Speed Gearbox Harsh Shifting(Moderate)
The ZF 9HP 9-speed automatic transmission exhibits harsh shifts, gear hunting on hills, and hesitant downshifts. The software struggles with the closely-spaced gear ratios, particularly in low-speed urban driving and during cold operation. A TCM software update significantly improves shift quality.
