WOF tips

When taking your Jaguar XF for a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection, pay attention to the following:

• 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.

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.
