Quick summary

The 2018 Jaguar E-PACE shows an overall defect rate of 116 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the average of 120 per 100. Notably, it excels in categories such as steering, lights and electrics, and body/structure, with significantly lower defect rates compared to the average car. However, it has a higher incidence of brake-related issues, with a defect rate of 107 per 100 vehicles, which is above the average of 67. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates tend to increase with higher mileage, particularly notable in the 124,000+ miles segment where the model shows a significant spike. Overall, while it performs well in several areas, the E-PACE's brake performance stands out as a concern.
