Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those seeking a large diesel saloon, provided the high mileage is acceptable. The clean MOT record over the last five years suggests a consistent pass rate for this specific unit.
Given the 131,020 miles on the odometer, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history, particularly regarding timing chain maintenance and oil changes, which are critical for this engine size. While the MOT history shows no defects, these tests are snapshots and do not confirm the mechanical integrity of the engine or gearbox.
Negotiate based on the mileage; although the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has been driven much more than the typical 7,204 miles per annum seen in the wider model data. Check for any signs of suspension wear or tyre degradation, as these are common failure points for the XF model across the wider fleet.
Running this 2993cc diesel will involve higher-than-average costs compared to smaller saloons. Expect a higher insurance group due to the vehicle's performance profile and engine capacity. Fuel economy will depend heavily on motorway usage, but the large engine size will impact urban efficiency.
Maintenance costs for a Jaguar of this age can be significant, particularly for specialist parts. You should budget for more frequent tyre replacements and brake servicing. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to fall in the higher bracket for this segment.
Focus your inspection on the suspension components and tyres. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the aggregate data for this model shows that tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars are the most frequent reasons for failure. Ensure the anti-roll bars are silent and the tyres have healthy tread depth.
Additionally, inspect the exterior white paintwork for any signs of ageing or stone chips, which can be common on high-mileage vehicles. Because this is a large-capacity diesel, listen for any unusual engine noise during a cold start, as the MOT record does not provide insight into internal engine health.
This 2011 Jaguar XF features a 2.9L diesel engine and has covered 131,020 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,204 miles per year, the vehicle has secured five consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects since 2021. It represents a high-mileage example that has maintained a clean testing history in recent years.
Aggregate data for the Jaguar XF shows an 82.8% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to 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.
- 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.
