Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given that the last recorded MOT was in November 2021, your first priority must be to verify if the vehicle has a valid, current MOT. If it has been off the road or has missed tests, you must factor in the cost of a fresh inspection. Always request a documented service history to supplement the MOT data, as the MOT only tests safety and emissions, not general mechanical health.
When negotiating, use the 2021 MOT failure as a point of discussion. Even though no specific defects were listed in that failure record, any failed test indicates a need for mechanical scrutiny. Check the 2.1L petrol engine specifically for any signs of fluid leaks or timing chain issues, which are common considerations for this era of Jaguar.
Running costs for this 2099cc petrol model will be higher than a modern equivalent. You should expect moderate fuel consumption typical of a premium saloon from the early 2000s. Tax bands for this era of X-Type can vary depending on exact CO2 emissions, so verify the specific rate for CV02VPT.
Insurance groups for older Jaguars can be unpredictable; it is advisable to get multiple quotes. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher than average, particularly regarding suspension components and brakes, which are noted as common failure points for this model aggregate.
You should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. Aggregate data for this model indicates that anti-roll bars and brake discs are frequent MOT failure reasons. Ensure the mechanic checks the condition of the anti-roll bar links and the thickness of the brake discs and pads.
Additionally, inspect the seat belt anchorages, as this is another common failure reason identified in the model's history. Because the last MOT failure occurred at 87,252 miles, a thorough underside inspection for corrosion and worn bushings is essential to ensure the vehicle meets current safety standards.
This black 2.1L petrol X-Type was first registered in June 2002 and has covered 87,252 miles as of its last recorded MOT in November 2021. While the mileage is relatively low for a 24-year-old vehicle, there is a significant gap in recorded MOT data since late 2021. The model aggregate data shows a lower-than-average pass rate of 72.4% across 40,034 analysed vehicles.
Aggregate data shows a 72.4% MOT pass rate for this model, which is lower than many contemporary competitors.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
