I also own a 2010 XF 3.0 D. Mine has done 67500 miles andi I am the second owner. It drives really well but I have reluctantly made the decision to sell it as I am getting increasingly frustrated at the warning messages that appear on the screen. They are not actual faults as they appear and disappear regularly. So, I would ask the seller if he has had any similar experience to date.
Another potentially expensive fault is the Exhaust Gas Regeneration Valves, which cause loss of power - Jaguar dealers will charge £1000+ to replace them.
Good luck.
Bill
Thanks Bill

Hi guys, I’m looking at buying a 3 litre diesel XF (2010).
It’s very low mileage (vosa checked, no mot advisories), and has no service history, the dealer says the previous owner was elderly, and lost it’s book. Cosmetically it’s a bit lacking, typical London car, but drives really nicely, all electrics work, and there’s no water in the spare wheel well.
I spoke to a London based specialist (very nice chap called Paul) who said the engines are largely excellent and reliable, that the banana arms wear quickly, and that was all I remember really. I’m factoring in getting timing belt asap.
I’ve never had a jag, or a diesel before. What else should I be double checking?
With thanks and hoping to join the club soon,
Nick

Thanks Darren. It’s done 35k miles, 4k since 2014!
cosmetically; scrapes and scuffs to bodywork mainly.
think i might do well to spend some money on an independent inspection.
