Jaguar XKR — MOT Reliability Overview
The Jaguar XKR has an average MOT pass rate of 81.8%, which is 4.4 percentage points below the Jaguar brand average of 86.2%. This is a strong result, indicating that the XKR is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.
The most common reasons a Jaguar XKR fails its MOT are steering rack gaiter or ball joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc, lambda coefficient outside the default limits or the range specified by the manufacturer, a suspension joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc. If you are preparing your XKR for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Jaguar XKR, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
