2011 Jaguar XF 3.0L Diesel · EX11 NMY

The 2967.0cc diesel engine offers respectable fuel economy for a large executive saloon on long motorway journeys, though urban driving will see heavier fuel consumption. Depending on its exact emissions bracket for the 2011 tax year, vehicle excise duty will fall into the higher band typical of pre-2017 large diesel cars. Insurance will likely sit in a mid-to-high insurance group due to the engine size and executive vehicle classification, bringing estimated annual running costs to around £1,400-£1,800 when factoring in routine maintenance, fuel, tax, and insurance.

Pay close attention to common model weak points identified across the XF range, specifically checking the condition of tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bar components, which feature prominently as top MOT failure reasons for this model nationally. Although the 2022-2026 MOT tests recorded zero defects, inspect the suspension arms, bushes, and drop links for any play or wear that may have escaped past testing or developed recently. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any oil leaks around the 2967.0cc diesel block and check the brake discs and pads for remaining thickness.
