About the Jaguar F-Pace
The Jaguar F-Pace is a mid-size premium SUV that was Jaguar's first SUV, sold from 2016 to 2024. It is available with 2.0 Ingenium diesel and petrol, 3.0 V6 diesel and petrol, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and with the sporty SVR. It has an aluminium body and is generally good to drive, but insurance and repair costs can be high because of the aluminium body.
Common Jaguar F-Pace Problems to Check
These are issues commonly reported on Jaguar F-Pace models. Not every car is affected, and exact years and engines matter. Review the MOT history for any advisory items related to these areas, and raise them directly with the seller during viewing.
- Owners report lagging displays and general glitches with the earlier touchscreen infotainment system, and rear parking sensors that bleep with nothing there (a software update should fix this)
- Recalls have been reported (including a fuel-return-hose leak on 2.0-litre diesels built between 1 November 2016 and 6 April 2017, a fuel-rail leak on certain 2016–2017 builds, a crankshaft pulley bolt on some petrol cars built in late 2018 and a starter-motor cable fire risk on some 2016 3.0-litre diesels)
- Four-cylinder diesels: watch for timing-chain wear and check for oil dilution, particularly if the car has mainly been used for short journeys; crankshaft failures have been reported on some 3.0-litre V6 diesels
- The aluminium body is costly to repair, and large 22-inch wheels are vulnerable to kerbing
- Auto Express says some owners are unhappy with panel fit, particularly on the bumpers, bonnet and tailgate
Jaguar F-Pace Buying Tips
- Ask a Jaguar dealer, quoting the VIN, for proof that all recall work has been done
- Test the infotainment, the parking sensors and the electrical equipment
- Insist on a full service history, and look closely at the bodywork for dents
- Get insurance quotes before buying, as reviewers say the aluminium body is costly to repair and raises premiums
Reliability Summary
