Hello,

I've considering getting a Jaguar XF and, having done the cashflow vs expected 3-yr cost of ownership, I'm turning to other aspects of age, including engine mileage.

Several of the cheaper models I've looked at have about 140k to 170k on the clock.

I've owned Volvos (850 & V70, petrol+lpg) and Mercs (E-Class, diesel) and cheerfully ran up starship mileage (325k in my 850 and 200+ in the others).   The engines outlasted the other niggles & rust on all vehicles.  So, high mileage in and of itself doesn't faze me, but the Jaguar XF is unfamiliar territory and I don't know what to expect.

 I'd be grateful for any views on getting a pre-facelift V6S, in particular the engine longevity and any other age effects. 

Thanks

i would say yes, if the car has been looked after. engine or rust shouldn't be a problem . 

just check all electrics and wire looms in boot, especially under spare wheel even under the carpet. electrics are the main worry.

Hi

As I said in earlier post mine had this sorted before I got it but it came with a receipt from Preston Jag Centre for @£1100 from late 2017.

I have heard good reports about JagMan in wigan. Might be worth a call.

Hope you get it sorted OK.

thanks

Wow im having the very same problem the wires all failed at the same time insurance wont pay out saying its wear and tear what a load of bull. How have you got on? The full wiring loom is there.£ 2200 for loom and £2000 to fit ive been told

Check to see if you have sitting water in lowest point in your boot the wires might be rotting as happened to me and insurance company said this was wear and tear and refused to pay out.
