Common faults

[Marky.ark123]

Hi all and new to the website, Thinking of buying a 10/11 plate xf 3.od. What sort of common problems do they have. Is there a list somewhere I can have a look at so I have an idea when I go and view one. Thanks in advance

like any other car really just try and get one with full service history pref dealer or jag specialist, do a car check, think one of the main probs on 3.0d is DPF but if use  something like BP ultimate fuel or every 3rd fill up and give it a good run now and then should be fine, i,m sure someone else on here has some more tips for you oh and would check any advisories have been done on MOT

Common faults usually relate to battery issues. i luckily cover about 60 miles a day on the motorway so my battery stays topped up.

But of you don't drive too often then you may need to top up your battery weekly/monthly to ensure the electrics operate smoothly.
