Will my 5-year-old Jaguar X-Type be reliable for another three years and 50,000 miles?
I have a 5-year-old Jaguar X-Type 2.0-litre diesel that has done 80,000 miles. I like its economy, comfort and load capacity. My main mileage is on country roads and there are regular scrapes with hedges and branches when meeting other cars, so I do not particularly want to spend money on a replacement until I retire in about three years' time. Can you please advise whether there are any long-term reliability issues that I should watch out for if I keep this car for another three years and 50,000 miles?
All the information on X-type reliability can be found here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/jaguar/x-type-2001/; and www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/jaguar/x-type-estate.../.
As long as you keep the car serviced and well maintained, it should last the distance. Though after another 50,000 miles, it will be approaching the end of its life.
