Known issues

Common issues to be aware of include potential problems with the infotainment system, which can sometimes be glitchy. Diesel models may experience DPF-related issues, especially if primarily used for short trips. Suspension components, particularly air suspension on higher-spec models, can be prone to wear. Electrical gremlins, while not widespread, are also worth keeping an eye on.

WOF tips

When taking your Jaguar XF for a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection, pay attention to the following:
• Lights: Ensure all lights are functioning correctly, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators. Xenon or LED headlights can be expensive to replace.
• Tyres: Check for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension issues.
• Brakes: Examine brake pads and rotors for wear. Electronic parking brakes can sometimes cause issues.
• Suspension: Inspect suspension components for leaks or damage, particularly if equipped with air suspension.
• Windscreen: Cracks or chips in the windscreen that obstruct the driver's view will result in a WOF failure.

Questions owners ask

What are some common problems I should watch out for on a 2017-2019 Jaguar XF?

Keep an eye out for potential issues with the infotainment system, which can sometimes be glitchy. If you have a diesel model, be aware of potential DPF problems, especially if you mainly do short trips. Suspension components, particularly air suspension on higher-spec models, can also wear. While not widespread, electrical gremlins can also occur.

What should I check on my Jaguar XF (2017-2019) before its WOF inspection in New Zealand?

Before your WOF, make sure all your lights are working correctly, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators. Check your tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension problems. Examine your brake pads and rotors for wear, and be aware that the electronic parking brake can sometimes cause issues. Inspect your suspension components for leaks or damage, especially if you have air suspension. Finally, ensure your windscreen is free of cracks or chips that obstruct your view.

How often should I service my Jaguar XF (2017-2019)?

The recommended service interval for the 2017-2019 Jaguar XF is every 26,000km. Sticking to this schedule is crucial for maintaining its performance and longevity.

Is the aluminium body of the 2017-2019 Jaguar XF prone to damage?

While the aluminium construction of the 2017-2019 Jaguar XF contributes to its improved handling and fuel efficiency, it can be more susceptible to damage than steel in certain types of impacts. It's important to ensure any body repairs are carried out by a qualified panel beater experienced in working with aluminium.

Are diesel Jaguar XF models reliable, and what DPF issues should I be aware of?

Diesel Jaguar XF models can be reliable, but the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can be problematic if the car is primarily used for short trips. Short trips don't allow the DPF to reach the high temperatures needed to regenerate properly, leading to blockages. Regular longer drives can help prevent DPF issues.

What kind of driving experience can I expect from a 2017-2019 Jaguar XF?

The 2017-2019 Jaguar XF offers a sophisticated driving experience with a blend of performance and refinement.
