2016 Jaguar F-Type 3.0L Petrol · F25 JAG

The 3.0‑litre V6 petrol engine in this F‑Type typically achieves around 30 mpg on combined driving, translating to roughly £800‑£1,000 per year in fuel if driven 10,000 miles annually at current petrol prices. Road tax for a 3.0‑litre sports car falls into Band H, costing about £210 per year. Insurance groups for the F‑Type are usually in the 45‑50 range, leading to an annual premium of roughly £1,200‑£1,500 depending on driver profile.

Maintenance on a Jaguar can be higher than mainstream models; routine servicing, brakes, and tyre replacements often cost between £500‑£800 per year. Adding fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance together yields an estimated annual running cost of £2,800‑£3,500.

Inspect the tyre condition closely, especially the rear tyres, as the 2023 MOT recorded near‑limit wear on the nearside rear tyre. Verify that the tyre tread depth is above the legal 1.6 mm limit and that there are no sidewall cracks or uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues.

Examine the brake system for pad thickness and disc condition; Jaguars of this age often require brake pad replacement around the 30‑40k mile mark. Look for any signs of uneven wear, scoring, or rust on the discs, and confirm whether the brake fluid has been flushed recently.

Check the electrical systems, particularly the headlamp units and windscreen wipers, as these are common MOT failure points for the model. Ensure all lights function correctly, wiper blades are not overly worn, and there are no warning lights on the dashboard. Also, inspect the suspension bushings and mounts for any play or squeaks, which can develop with mileage above 30,000 miles.
