Our Verdict
A strong candidate for enthusiasts, this
Given the low mileage and the high-performance 5000cc engine, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT does not confirm that the engine oil or specialized fluids have been changed according to Jaguar's requirements. Ensure you request documentation for all scheduled maintenance, particularly for the supercharged V8 unit.
When inspecting this specific black F-Type, check for any signs of stone chipping on the front end, which is common for low-slung performance cars. Negotiate based on the documented service intervals rather than the MOT status alone, as the lack of MOT advisories suggests no immediate mechanical failures were detected during inspections, but it does not guarantee the long-term health of complex electronic or mechanical systems.
Running this 5.0L petrol engine will be expensive. Expect high fuel consumption typical of a large-capacity performance car and a high insurance group rating. Tax bands for a 5000cc vehicle are also at the upper end of the scale.
Maintenance costs for a Jaguar of this specification are generally higher than average. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, you should budget for premium consumables such as high-performance tyres and brakes. An estimated annual running cost of £3,500-£5,000 is realistic, depending heavily on driving style and insurance profile.
While this vehicle has had no MOT failures, the model aggregate data indicates that tyres, windscreen wipers, and headlamps are common failure points for this model. Check the tread depth and condition of the tyres, as high-performance rubber is costly to replace.
Inspect the headlamp units for any signs of condensation or clouding, and check the operation of the wiper system. Because this is a high-capacity 5.0L model, also look for any signs of fluid leaks under the car, though none were noted in the recent MOT history.
This 2016 Jaguar F-Type, finished in black, presents with a remarkably clean MOT record, showing zero defects or advisories across five consecutive tests since 2021. With 32,692 miles recorded at its last test in November 2025, the mileage is significantly lower than the model aggregate average of 3,782 miles per year. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly, which is reflected in the steady mileage progression from 18,056 in 2021 to 32,692 in 2025.
The F-Type shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.6% across 15,200 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable mechanical compliance.

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.
