The Jaguar XF (X250) was built from 2007 to 2015.
For this generation we cover 3 engines and 11 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 100–150 thousand km this model most often failed on: lights, wipers and visibility (11.2 %), tyres and wheels (8.8 %), suspension (8.7 %). It fails less often than average on: brakes, suspension, steering, lights, wipers and visibility, body and corrosion, exhaust, emissions and leaks.
