Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a
When viewing this 2.9L diesel XF, pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT history shows that every test between 2021 and 2024 noted corrosion or pitting on the brake discs. You should check if these discs and pads have been replaced recently or if the corrosion is likely to return shortly.
Given the 2023 advisory regarding rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit, inspect the current tread depth on all four tyres. Additionally, ensure the service history is documented, as the 3.0L diesel engine requires strict maintenance intervals to remain reliable. Negotiate on the basis of any upcoming maintenance needs related to the braking system or tyres if they appear worn.
As a 2993cc diesel, this Jaguar will fall into a higher tax band and insurance group compared to smaller executive saloons. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but expect typical diesel figures for a large luxury saloon of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Jaguar of this age can be higher than average, particularly for components like brake discs and tyres which have appeared frequently in the MOT history. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,500-£2,000, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the braking components. The MOT records for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 all specifically mention brake disc corrosion, pitting, or scoring. Check the condition of the discs and ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking.
Check the tyres thoroughly. The 2023 MOT flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. Finally, because this is a high-displacement diesel, listen for any unusual engine noise or smoke on startup, though the MOT records themselves do not provide data on engine health.
This 2009 Jaguar XF, finished in grey, has covered 84,383 miles since its first registration in June 2009. The MOT history shows a consistent trend of brake disc issues from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent test in October 2025 recorded no defects. The mileage is higher than the model average of 7,167 per year, suggesting it has been used more frequently than many similar examples.
Aggregate data from over 107,000 vehicles shows an 82.8% MOT pass rate for this model, with common failures involving tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.

Common Problems: JAGUAR XF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Sticking Rotary Gear Selector(Moderate)
The gear selector may refuse to rise or become stuck in "Park" due to solder joint failure on the PCB.
- Rear Differential Contamination & Whine(Serious)
Early XF models (up to 2009) were sent from the factory with contaminated differential oil, causing excessive wear to the pinion gear. This leads to the rear drive shafts moving around and damaging the diff seals, producing a distinctive whine or groaning sound.
- Water Pump Failure (3.0SC & 5.0 V8)(Serious)
The water pumps on 3.0 supercharged V6 and 5.0 V8 engines are prone to premature failure, sometimes lasting less than 20,000 miles. Coolant enters the bearing housing and corrodes it, causing the impeller shaft seal to wear and leak coolant externally.
- Boot Loom Wiring Failure(Moderate)
The wiring loom running into the boot flexes every time the boot is opened and closed, eventually causing the wires to fatigue and break. This disables the rear camera, boot lights, number plate lights and sometimes the rear sensors.
