Used Jaguar Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Jaguar a reliable car?
Jaguar's reliability has improved significantly in recent years, though, like any premium brand, it can be mixed. Newer models like the F-Pace and F-Type have earned good reliability ratings. The key to a dependable second hand Jaguar is ensuring it has a full and complete service history, which is something we verify for every vehicle we sell.
Are used Jaguar models expensive to maintain?
While parts and servicing for a premium vehicle like a Jaguar can be higher than for mainstream brands, choosing an approved used Jaguar from Vertu helps manage costs. Our vehicles are meticulously prepared, and we offer transparently-priced service plans to help you budget for future maintenance, making ownership more predictable.
How well do used Jaguar models hold their value?
Desirable models like the F-Pace, E-Pace, and F-Type hold their value very well. The brand's strong image, sporting heritage, and elegant design ensure these cars remain highly sought after on the second hand market, making a well-chosen used Jaguar a sound financial decision.
Which used Jaguar is best to buy second hand?
The 'best' used Jaguar truly depends on your priorities. For a fantastic balance of luxury, performance, and practicality, the Jaguar XF is a superb choice. If you need the space of an SUV, the Jaguar F-Pace is an award-winning option. For a pure sports car experience, nothing beats the iconic used Jaguar F-Type.
How long do Jaguar engines last?
With regular maintenance and care, a modern Jaguar engine can comfortably last for 150,000 miles or more. The lifespan of any engine is heavily dependent on it being serviced on time and with quality parts, which is why a full service history is the most important thing to look for.
What are the disadvantages of buying a used Jaguar?
The main consideration when buying any premium vehicle is the potential for higher repair bills compared to a volume brand. Complex systems can be more costly to fix if they fail. This is precisely why buying an approved used Jaguar from Vertu is such a smart choice, as our comprehensive warranty is designed to protect you from many of these unexpected costs.
What are the benefits of Jaguar's all-wheel drive (AWD) system?
Jaguar's intelligent AWD system provides a significant advantage in day-to-day driving. While the cars retain a sporty, rear-wheel-drive character in normal conditions, the system instantly sends power to the front wheels when it detects slip. This provides greatly enhanced traction and stability in wet or icy weather, giving you more confidence all year round.
What should I know about the 'Ingenium' engine family?
Ingenium is the name for Jaguar's modern family of advanced, efficient, and powerful petrol and diesel engines, introduced from around 2015. They are designed to provide a brilliant blend of strong performance and improved fuel economy. A well-maintained Ingenium engine with a full service history will provide a rewarding ownership experience.
How does the 'JaguarDrive Control' system work?
JaguarDrive Control allows you to tailor the car's driving characteristics to suit your mood. It typically offers a 'Dynamic' mode, which sharpens the throttle response and gearshifts for an engaging drive, a 'Comfort' mode for relaxed cruising, and an 'Eco' mode for maximising fuel efficiency. It is a valuable feature that adds to the car's versatility.
