Ranked #294 car in the UK · SUV (EV) · 2 units sold last year
The Jaguar I-Pace was Jaguar's bold first electric car - a striking, low-slung electric SUV that beat the German establishment to market in 2018 and drove brilliantly, with sharp handling and genuine luxury. A 90kWh battery gives a real-world 200-250 miles, though its ~100kW maximum charging speed now looks dated. Discontinued in 2024 as Jaguar reinvents itself, it has become a lot of premium electric SUV for the money used - bought on a thorough battery and service check.
How these figures are sourced — the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.
WLTP
The short version
Forecourt score
Value 0 · Reliability 87 · Insurance 0 · catalogue percentiles
The Jaguar I-Pace loses value faster than most cars and is dearer to run than most. Its MOT-based reliability is excellent — an MOT score of 88/100. On three-year value retention it ranks better than 0% of models. The main things to check on a used one are the 12v battery and air suspension fault.
The Forecourt score blends how this car ranks against the catalogue on value retention, reliability and insurance cost (weighted 40/40/20) — the from-new ownership picture. Higher is better; running cost is not yet folded in.
Flip side for used buyers: heavy depreciation is the first owner’s loss and the used buyer’s discount — a reliable car with a low score here can be a strong used purchase at today’s prices.
Estimates are tuned to the version you choose.

If you're a company-car driver
At 4% BIK, this would cost a 40% taxpayer about £96/month in company-car tax (£48/month at 20%) — one of the strongest cases for choosing an EV via salary sacrifice. Full BIK table below for context.
Best age to buy — around 3 years
A 3-year-old example loses roughly £2,900 a year — 80% less than the £14,450 a one-year-old sheds. The steepest drop is behind it.
Uses current UK pump and home-charging prices (DESNZ weekly), typical-driver insurance and manufacturer service intervals. "Fuel per mile" is just the energy input — so an EV at ~9p and a diesel at ~22p make running-cost comparison direct. A guide; your own costs will vary.

The default — most common spec on the used market. Pre-MY2020 cars use ~30-40% more energy in cold weather (no heat pump); 2020+ cars are significantly better in winter.
Watch for
Cosmetic upgrade over HSE — same drivetrain, same battery, same charging. The larger wheels look better but lose a few miles of range.
Watch for
Final-edition trim with mild software refresh and improved heat pump efficiency. The pick if budget allows MY2022+ — the late-life software is meaningfully better than launch.

How we estimate this
Indicative annual comprehensive premium estimates. The 'Typical' figure represents an average UK driver in each age band; Lower and Higher risk show the realistic spread driven by factors UK insurers legitimately price on (postcode, occupation, claims history, NCB, voluntary excess, modifications). Based on 10,000 miles/yr, £250 voluntary excess, and the no-claims bonus selected above. Always get individual quotes before buying.

Watch now
Failure typically happens around your current mileage.
Upcoming
A known weak point — but you haven't reached its usual mileage yet.
Already due
Past its usual failure mileage. Either already fixed, or about to.
Flagship issue. Flat 12V renders the car undriveable — won't start, can't be towed conventionally. Multiple Jaguar TSBs; aftermarket lithium 12V common upgrade.
Multiple TSBs over the model's life. Symptom: erratic regen feel or warning lights. Always check service history for current software version.
Random freezes, navigation faults, charge port commands not responding. Worse on pre-MY2021 software.
Compressor or strut failure. Visible by sagging at one corner overnight. Higher-mileage problem.
Park indoors or use a windscreen blanket over the charge port in frost.
Rare but serious. Battery thermal management cooling lines. Inspect for damp underneath.
Degradation typically 8-12% by 60k miles. Pre-buy battery health check at independent EV specialist recommended.
"Parts low/medium/high" indicates how easy the replacement part is to source — discontinued or specialist parts mean longer workshop time and bigger bills.

The passenger compartment of the I-PACE remained stable in the frontal offset test.
Independent crash-test data from Euro NCAP. Star ratings reflect the test protocol of the year shown — newer protocols are stricter, so a 5-star from 2024 represents a higher bar than a 5-star from 2014. Euro NCAP ratings run for six years from publication; a lapsed rating means the protocol has moved on, not that the car performs any worse than it did on test.
How this model fares at its MOT as it ages — from 87,827 real DVSA test records.
MOT pass rate by age
A 3-year-old I-Pace passes its MOT 92.9% of the time; by 8 years that has slipped to 86.9%. The y-axis is zoomed to this model’s range so the trend is readable.
Longevity
From 882 vehicles registered in 2018.
Survival by registration year
Each point is one registration cohort. Older cars on the left, newer on the right. A flatter line means the model holds up over time; a steep drop means cohorts disappear from UK roads faster.
What fails at the first MOT
The defect categories a I-Pace registered 2020–2023 fails on at its first MOT, from 20,403 first tests. Every car here is the same age and the same generation, so these are the faults that show up first - not the wear a high-mileage older example collects.
Share of first MOT tests recording at least one defect in that category. DVSA test-item categories, not parts: “Driver’s view” covers mirrors, wipers and glass.
Typical mileage by age
The average odometer reading for a I-Pace at MOT, by age — measured from the same DVSA records, not assumed. A useful yardstick for whether a given car has done more or fewer miles than its age suggests.
Mean recorded mileage at MOT by vehicle age, from DVSA test records. Ages below three are not shown: the first MOT is due at three years, so the few cars tested earlier are a self-selected minority rather than a representative sample. Ages with at least 10 tests shown.
Excellent
First-MOT pass rate and defect rate for cars registered 2020 onward (20,403 first tests), with cohort survival — high confidence.
MOT outlook
Insufficient MOT history at this car's reference age — too few tests to compute a reliable percentile.
Safety recalls
Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Jaguar I-Pace, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.
Check on GOV.UKOpens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.
A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.
Whole-car theft
Higher
Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.
Parts theft
Lower
As an electric car it has no catalytic converter, so the most common parts-theft vector doesn't apply.
Worth doing
Whether driving a Jaguar I-Pace into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.
| City | Area | Daily charge | Likely outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | All of Greater London (within the M25) | £12.50 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |
| Birmingham | Inside the A4540 Middleway | £8.00 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |
| Bristol | City centre and part of the Portway | £9.00 | Likely exempt Battery-electric — exempt everywhere. |

Model-level guidance only. To check a specific registration, use the official gov.uk clean-air zone checker. Zone charges and boundaries are set by local councils and change over time.
Winter range estimates assume ~5°C ambient with cabin heating; figures from manufacturer cold-weather testing where available, otherwise derived as a fraction of WLTP. DC times are manufacturer-claimed 10–80% on the headline charger; real-world sessions on UK rapids can be slower. Charging cost is a full battery at the home/blended electricity rate; public rapid charging costs more.
UK charging network
As of 2026-04-01, the UK has 119,080 publicly available EV chargers, up 12.6% on the prior year (13,281 added in 2025). 23% of those are rapid (50 kW+) or ultra-rapid (150 kW+), so the network can support both home and on-route charging.

What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Jaguar I-Pace as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 0 g/km and a WLTP electric range of 246 miles, using £71,995 as the P11D value.
EVs sit at the bottom BIK band — currently 4% — so this is one of the cheapest ways to take a company car.
| Tax year | BIK % | Tax @ 20% | Tax @ 40% | Monthly @ 20% | Monthly @ 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 3% | £432 | £864 | £36 | £72 |
| 2026-27 | 4% | £576 | £1,152 | £48 | £96 |
| 2027-28 | 5% | £720 | £1,440 | £60 | £120 |
| 2028-29 | 7% | £1,008 | £2,016 | £84 | £168 |
| 2029-30 | 9% | £1,296 | £2,592 | £108 | £216 |
P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.

Network size relative to the UK's largest (Jaguar is 1.8% of all franchised outlets)
A solid network — a franchised dealer is usually within reasonable reach, and independent garages are generally familiar with the brand.
For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.
Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.
