Our Verdict
Proceed with caution unless the F-Type has a comprehensive and meticulously documented service history. While the most recent MOT is clean, the vehicle has significantly higher mileage than the average for its model and age.
When inspecting this specific F-Type, the primary focus should be the mileage. Because it has driven much more than the average F-Type, you must verify that all major services have been performed according to Jaguar's schedule to ensure the 2995cc engine has been properly maintained. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as tyres are a common failure point for this model across the fleet.
Negotiate based on the high mileage relative to similar examples. Ask the seller for the specific reasons behind the 2025 and 2026 MOT failures; although the records show 'no defects' on the subsequent pass, knowing what was repaired is vital to determine if these were minor items like wiper blades or deeper mechanical concerns.
The 3.0L V6 engine sits in a high insurance group and carries significant tax costs compared to smaller vehicles. Owners should expect high fuel consumption, likely averaging between 20-25 mpg depending on driving style, and premium maintenance costs.
Maintenance costs for Jaguar sports cars are generally higher than average vehicles. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and a contingency for repairs, would typically fall between £4,500 and £6,500.
Inspect the exterior for stone chips and windscreen damage, as these are identified as common failure reasons for this model. Pay close attention to the headlamps and wiper blades, which have been frequent MOT issues in the aggregate data for the F-Type.
Given the mileage is over 66,000 miles, perform a thorough check for oil leaks or unusual noises coming from the suspension. Ensure the tyres have ample tread depth, as high-performance cars like this Jaguar can consume rubber rapidly if alignment is out of specification.
This blue 2018 Jaguar F-Type features the 3.0L V6 engine and has covered approximately 66,617 miles. Over its eight-year life, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,300 miles per year, which is more than double the model-specific average of 3,789 miles. While the most recent MOT passed with no recorded defects, the history shows two failures immediately prior to passes, suggesting issues addressed just before testing.
The Jaguar F-Type generally maintains a high MOT pass rate of 92.5%, but high-performance components remain expensive to maintain.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR F-TYPE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Seized Active Exhaust Valves(Moderate)
The valves in the exhaust system that create the signature "pop and crackle" can seize in the open or closed position.
- Coolant Outlet Pipe Failure(Serious)
Plastic coolant "crossover" pipes can crack, leading to sudden loss of coolant and potential engine overheating.
- Supercharger Bearing Noise (V8)(Serious)
The Eaton TVS2300 supercharger on V8 models develops bearing wear in the front nose cone assembly from high-RPM operation and heat cycling. A distinctive whine worsens progressively and can eventually lead to rotor contact if bearings fail completely, requiring a full supercharger rebuild.
- Rear Differential Oil Seal Leak(Moderate)
The rear differential develops oil leaks from failed pinion seals, which can lead to wear of the diff pinion due to insufficient lubrication. If left untreated for too long, a whining noise develops and a full differential replacement may be required.
- Coolant System Plastic Pipe Failures(Serious)
Beyond the water pump, the network of plastic coolant hoses and pipes throughout the engine bay become brittle from heat cycling. The Y-pipe and throttle cooling pipe are hidden beneath the supercharger and fail without warning. Most specialists recommend replacing all plastic coolant pipes in one job.
