Looking at a X Type?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular X Type is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the X Type disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 100,293 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 14,875 in 2026 Q1, down 85%. That is down 66% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 12,540 are declared SORN — 1 in 2 of the 27,415 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

X Type MOT pass rate

In 2024, 58.3% of 22,354 Jaguar X Type MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 63.8% of cars aged 10–14 years passed first time, against 58.2% aged 15–30 years.

  • Exhaust Emissions — 8.2% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Suspension Arms — 6.6% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Condition — 6.6% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Brake Performance — 6.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.

Before you buy

  • Exhaust Emissions — 8.2% of tests in 2024. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Suspension Arms — 6.6% of tests in 2024. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Condition — 6.6% of tests in 2024. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Brake Performance — 6.5% of tests in 2024. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 27,415 X Type vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 2 is SORN (12,540 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 85% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 100,293. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
