The 2001 Jaguar S-Type has a defect rate of 368 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the average of 369 per 100 for its year. While tyre wear is a common issue, this model particularly excels in visibility, lights and electrics, and body/structure, showing significantly lower defect rates in these categories compared to average figures. However, it stands out negatively in steering, with a much higher defect rate than the average. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase notably as mileage increases, especially in the higher mileage ranges. Overall, the S-Type demonstrates a balanced performance with specific strengths and weaknesses in its MOT results.
