Car statistics
How many Jaguar X Types are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 19,229 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 14,679 Jaguar X Types licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 11,995 declared off the road (SORN). That is 86.8% fewer than the peak of 111,059 in 2009.
Numbers peaked in 2009 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

4 versions of the Jaguar X Type have their own page. The figures above include every version; each version page covers only the cars DVLA records under that version’s name.

In 2025, 59.0% of Jaguar X Type MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Jaguar X Types tested pass 59.1% of the time, so the Jaguar X Type does about as well as average for its age. In 2024 its pass rate was 58.2%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Suspension is the most common reason a Jaguar X Type fails its MOT, appearing on 48.4% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 11.4% of Jaguar X Type tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Jaguar X Type failed its MOT in 2025 was “Component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength”, on 14.8% of 7,891 failed tests. 69.3% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

DVSA lists 6 safety recalls for the Jaguar X Type since 1992, the first in 2003. The most recent was launched on 22 September 2011.
All 6 Jaguar X Type recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Jaguar X Type. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
