The Jaguar XE / XF has been built since 2015.
For this generation we cover 3 engines and 10 known faults, each with the mileage range where it usually appears.
The most expensive known risk is Crankshaft bearing failure / snapped crankshaft (V6 diesel): it usually appears at 100,000–250,000 km and costs €5,000–12,000 to fix.
In UK roadworthiness tests in 2024, at 50–100 thousand km this model most often failed on: tyres and wheels (6.8 %), lights, wipers and visibility (5.8 %), brakes (3.7 %). It fails less often than average on: suspension, lights, wipers and visibility.
