Is the Jaguar XE ULEZ compliant?

Whether a Jaguar XE is ULEZ compliant depends on its engine and registration date: petrol from 2006 and diesel from September 2015 generally qualify, and electric versions are always exempt.

What insurance group is the Jaguar XE in?

The Jaguar XE sits in insurance group 32 of 50. Your actual premium still depends on age, postcode, annual mileage and no-claims history.

Is the Jaguar XE reliable?

Our reliability score for the Jaguar XE is 79 out of 100 (good), derived from DVSA MOT records, with a first-time MOT pass rate of about 85% at the reference age.

What economy does the Jaguar XE get?

Expect roughly around 48 mpg combined for a typical Jaguar XE, based on official figures and our running-cost model. Real-world figures vary with driving style, load and conditions.

What are the common problems on the Jaguar XE?

On the Jaguar XE, the issues that come up most by mileage include Tyres & wheels, Brakes and Driver's view. The section above breaks down each one with its typical mileage, repair cost and severity.

How many Jaguar XEs are on UK roads?

About 42,806 Jaguar XEs are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.

Is the Jaguar XE reliable?

The Jaguar XE scores 79/100 on Forecourt's MOT-based reliability measure, ahead of 49% of the cars we track. That is computed from 362,704 real DVSA MOT test results.

How much does a used Jaguar XE cost?

A 2023 Jaguar XE with around 27,543 miles is worth roughly £17,050 today (typical range £15,200–£18,950). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.

How quickly does the Jaguar XE depreciate?

A new Jaguar XE typically loses about 44% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.

What insurance group is the Jaguar XE?

The Jaguar XE sits in insurance group 32 of 50 — the more expensive end of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.

What goes wrong on a used Jaguar XE?

The most common age-related issues we track for the Jaguar XE are: tyres & wheels (typically around 60k-100k miles, £80-£500 to put right); brakes (typically around over 100k miles, £150-£500 to put right); driver's view (typically around 30k-60k miles, £60-£300 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.

What does the Jaguar XE cost to run?

Expect around 48 mpg combined, £195 a year in road tax, about £290 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.

Ranked #203 car in the UK · Saloon · 13 units sold last year

Jaguar XE

The Jaguar XE (2015-2024) is the keen-driving compact executive saloon - Jaguar's 3 Series rival, with sharp handling, rear-wheel drive and a handsome shape that always drove better than it sold. UK cars are mild-hybrid petrols and diesels. Now discontinued as Jaguar reinvents itself, it's a characterful used buy with genuine driver appeal, if tighter on rear space than rivals and with the usual JLR electrical and history checks advised.

Forecourt score

Value 32 · Reliability 68 · Insurance 16

The Jaguar XE loses value faster than most cars and costs about average to run. Its MOT-based reliability is good, 79 out of 100, ahead of 68% of the cars we track. On three-year value retention it ranks better than 32% of models.

The Forecourt score blends how this car ranks against the catalogue on value retention, reliability and insurance cost (weighted 40/40/20). Higher is better; running cost is not yet folded in.

Petrol, diesel, hybrid or EV?

How the available versions compare on price, running cost, and the headaches each tends to develop.

Petrol

The default choice: lowest purchase price and easy upkeep, at the cost of higher fuel bills than a hybrid.

New price: £48,600
Annual fuel / energy: £1,369
3-yr depreciation: 57%

Watch for

·Carbon build-up on direct-injection engines
·Ignition coils and spark plugs with age
·Cam or wet-belt service where fitted

Diesel

Makes sense for high motorway mileage; less so for short urban hops, where the DPF struggles.

New price: £52,000
Annual fuel / energy: £1,352
3-yr depreciation: 60%

Watch for

·DPF clogging on mostly-short journeys
·EGR valve and turbo wear with mileage
·AdBlue system upkeep on newer engines

Safety recalls

Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Jaguar XE, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.

Check on GOV.UK

Opens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.

Theft risk

A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.

Whole-car theft

Around average

Theft risk is around the UK average. Like most modern cars it has keyless entry, so relay theft is the method to guard against.

Parts theft

Higher

Hybrid versions are a catalytic-converter target — a hybrid cat is rich in precious metals and can be cut out in about a minute.

Worth doing

Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
A catalytic-converter guard or forensic marking makes a hybrid far less appealing to cut.

Clean-air zones

Whether driving a Jaguar XE 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.

Charging zones for cars

City	Area	Daily charge	Likely outcome
London	All of Greater London (within the M25)	£12.50	Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4.
Birmingham	Inside the A4540 Middleway	£8.00	Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4.
