Quick summary
Total: 4,589 cars
The 2008 Jaguar X-Type shows a slightly higher overall defect rate at 348 per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 337 per 100. This model particularly excels in steering and visibility, with defect rates significantly lower than the average, indicating fewer issues in these areas. However, it struggles with wheels, suspensions, and axles, where it has a notably higher defect rate than the average car. Mileage trends reveal that the defect rate increases with mileage, particularly for those over 124,000 miles, where it peaks at 504 per 100 vehicles. Overall, while the X-Type performs well in some categories, it faces challenges in specific mechanical aspects.
