Quick summary
Total: 1,532 cars
The 2020 Jaguar XF has an overall defect rate of 106 per 100 vehicles, which is significantly higher than the yearly average of 90 per 100, marking a difference of 18%. Notably, the model exhibits a concerning trend of increasing defects with mileage, particularly in the highest mileage category where it reaches 457 defects per 100 vehicles. However, it excels in several categories, such as steering, lights and electrics, body/structure, and equipment, where it shows significantly lower defect rates compared to the average. The only area of notable concern is the brakes, which have a defect rate of 92 per 100, substantially higher than the average of 49 per 100. Overall, while the Jaguar XF performs well in specific areas, its overall defect rate raises some concerns, particularly as mileage increases.
