I've the same problem water under spare wheel with my XF Jaguar 2013 plate.
Only had this car nearly 3 years no problems then January 2020 took it to our local car dealer who said there's 6 inches of water in the boot, they had it for 2 weeks with nothing resolved.
Took it to Jaguar dealer and they didn't come up with a solution and we still have problem. I've been looking on other Jaguar forum sites and someone has suggested it could be a rear vent seal behind rear bumper below the rear lights (it's a known issue!!) Also said there's a grommet in the boot which can be removed and then drain water.
Our problem is still not fixed but having seen this solution from other people I may take it back to the garage and see if they can solve the problem by looking at the rear vent seal??
Hope this was of some use??

Hi Julie,
I had the same issue, yes you are right. It is the rear vent inside the boot is causing the issue. Either you can replace them. I bought a silicon sealant and pasted around the vent. Now there is no water ingress on my boot.
Another potential issue will pop up is Central Junction Box where all the fuses are there.. The box might have moisture will cause auto start stop failure, GPS failure.
Another potential problem is boot loom wire. Which causes your rear camera to showing cracked signals. Sometimes your boot might not open on pressing the button. But it can be accessed by remote.
