Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a late-mo
When purchasing this I-PACE, focus on verifying the battery health and the presence of all original charging cables, as these are critical components not assessed during an MOT. Review the service history for any recorded software updates or battery management system interventions.
Given the tyre failure recorded in September 2024, check the current brand and condition of the tyres. Electric vehicles are heavier than traditional cars and can wear through tyres more quickly; ensuring high-quality, EV-specific tyres are fitted is essential for performance and safety.
As an all-electric vehicle, daily fuel costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel alternatives, though total expenditure will depend on whether the owner has access to cheap home charging. Insurance groups for the I-PACE are generally high reflecting its performance and original purchase price.
Maintenance costs are typically lower than internal combustion engines due to fewer moving parts. However, tyre replacement can be a more frequent and expensive cost for this model. The estimated annual running cost, including insurance, tax, and typical maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect all four tyres, specifically looking for cuts or bulges in the sidewalls, as the 2024 MOT failure highlighted cuts on the offside rear, nearside front, and offside front tyres. Ensure the current tread depth is well above the 1.6mm legal limit.
While the most recent MOT was a clean pass, check the condition of the windscreen wiper blades. Aggregate data shows wipers are a top failure reason for the I-PACE, making them a common wear-and-tear point to monitor.
This 2021 grey Jaguar I-PACE has recorded 44,574 miles, which is slightly above the model average. Its MOT history shows three clean passes and one failure in 2024 due to tyre tread depth and sidewall cuts. The vehicle's record is largely consistent with aggregate data for this model.
The I-PACE maintains a strong average MOT pass rate of 92.5%, with the majority of failures linked to wear-and-tear items such as tyres and wipers.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: JAGUAR I-PACE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 12V Battery & BMS Sensor Glitch(Serious)
A failing 12V battery or a glitchy Battery Monitoring System (BMS) sensor can trigger a "Traction Battery Fault" or total vehicle shutdown. The car is extremely sensitive to 12V health.
- High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH) Failure(Serious)
The internal element in the HV heater fails, resulting in no cabin heat. This is covered by Safety Recall H448 for many models, as it affects windscreen defrosting. Repair out-of-warranty is expensive as it requires dropping the main high-voltage battery pack.
- Charging Port Actuator Pin Sticking(Moderate)
The charging port door can fail to open, or the actuator pin that locks the cable in place can stick. This means the cable either fails to lock into the port or refuses to release after charging. The pin mechanism is a known weak point that can seize in cold weather.
- Air Suspension Strut & Compressor Failure(Serious)
The air suspension on HSE and higher specification models can develop strut leaks or compressor failure, particularly in cold or damp conditions. The compressor runs continuously to compensate for leaking struts, eventually burning itself out. Symptoms include the car sitting low on one corner and suspension fault warnings.
