Higher Mileage Jaguar F-Type Reliability, What Problems Did It Have? 

Check out how much I spent modifying the F-Type: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qIqllhNLx_M.html

These are reviews I’m looking for I can’t sand someone who does a “long term review” with 20,000 miles on the car

Thanks for the update. As someone who is considering a used F-type, but worried about the reliability reputation, it was good to hear that even though there were problems, they weren't "major". I hope she continues to be a good ride for you!

I'm sure you will agree as an owner that this generation F-Type is a modern classic. I hate the update to the current gen and wished that Jaguar had gone a different direction with the headlights or just left it alone. At any rate as with all cars there will be problems that comes with age but if it is well maintained and you address the issues as they come up, the S-Type is relatively reliable. The fact that it is a high mileage car shouldn't deter anyone from seriously considering purchasing one if they know what to look out for. That's why I would just like to say thank you for this video. It really serves as a guide for anyone looking to get their hands on this modern classic. I don't own one as yet but I feel more comfortable knowing what I know now. My only issue is whether to go for the V6 or a V8.

I am viewing as many Jaguar F-type videos as possible and have just found this one Sal, I am thinking of purchasing an F-type coupe rather than the soft-top mainly because I would require a reasonable space for luggage so I thank you for showing this video, I found it very informative.

I love these high mileage reviews of high performance car. Keep it up!

Thanks for showing us the real life issues the F-Type can have. Appreciate you explaining them clearly.

Very educational video! This is super helpful. Keep up the great work!

Good job! Would like to see POV drives if possible, love the sound!

Thanks for this video. I just subscribed. About to buy a V6 S so this information comes in handy. Greetings from London, England.

Thanks for your honesty. I have been considering a Jaguar for a long time and would only lease new based on this video. Everyone’s perception is different but to me that’s a lot of issues for a car with under 70k miles.

Those angles on the f-type are so dope🔥keep the content coming !

I was looking for a video with rhe exact content, very informative thank you! Keep it up!

Love the review it was so helpful, Thank you

Thanks for you honest review!! Appreciate it :)

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Good work on keeping that tuned F-Type running healthy.

As always thanks for the informative, video Uncle Sal. I'm very ignorant, when it comes to jaguars.

I have 42,200 miles on the exactly same car....no repairs since new.....same brakes and battery...maintenance is cheap compared to other sports cars. I have owed this car since May 2014....changed tires once..Michelin tires now.

Nice video. My buddy has the V8 FT he bought re-built with a salvaged title but still maintained a warranty. Nice car. I own a Maserati GranTurmiso and invented a No-Drill removable front license/action camera mount.

It's a really good video. I like the way you had video of each thing that went wrong. When you said sludge, I thought that sounded bad, until I saw it. Whoa! The only thing I would ask is that you turn the intro music down or the rest of the volume up.

Thanks for a great video! I have a 2015 F-Type V8 S with 67k miles causing me some problems, the coolant reservoir will not stay full. Had it checked today & he says I need a new heating supply manifold, its causing the coolant to leak onto the catalytic converter & starts steaming. Thx so much for the info!

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful car.

Beautiful car, im in the market for one. Great video!!

Awesome video, thanks for your thoughts and honest input!! What song did you use for the intro?!

Great video bro! Thank you

Good job Sal !

I love your reviews on your f-type. I don't have one but I'm really considering buying one by the end of this year or first part of this year. How easy has it been for you to find the parts, like the normal wear and tear parts? I can't find any videos on the suspension system, changing the shocks and struts, changing the alternator or even changing the water pump or thermostat. I like to do as much of the work as possible on my vehicle. So how much work have you been able to do on Jag yourself and how much trouble has it been to get the parts? Thanks.

I own a 2014 F-Type V8S convertible as a daily driver with 69,000 miles. In 4 years of ownership, apart from regular maintenance items, the only issues I have had were a slight leak on the differential, a known issue on early cars due to a small breather pipe which blocks over time, and a slightly leaking coolant pipe which was unfortunately deep in the engine. Both were fixed, the Diff seal by a main dealer and the coolant leak by an independent specialist. Otherwise the car has been totally reliable and is a total joy on every drive. I have owned many cars in 45+ years of driving, including 5 other Jags which were much more costly to maintain properly. The F-Type is the best car I have ever owned and one I hope to keep until I no longer drive. They are high performance means with soul and character, with that comes a certain expense, but believe me the cost is more than justified.

Very helpful and informative video. I am thinking about buying the manual trans version. But I'm a little nervous about owning a vehicle with such low production numbers. Worried about the availability of replacement parts.

Excellent review, beautiful car and I want one in the worst way!!!

Typical mechanical issues for cars with 70k-80k miles. I'm there now with my 2016 F-Type "R:" too. Still, I'll probably pay the price of maintaining and keeping this car for it's second life to 150k+ miles. That's how much I like it. And, with Jaguar now changing to EV by 2025, I think I like my even more when we get there.

the designer, Ian Cullen, also did some Aston Martin's so that is why they look similar.

100 dollar cost for part , 1500 cost for labor that's priceless.

I have a 2015 F-Type and you've hit all the high (or low) points. But I still love owning the car.

F type is one of most beautiful sports car in my eyes, but I can't get over how unreliable it is. I had g35 with 150k with no issue. Now I have q50 with 50k with 0 issue. Tried and tested VQ engine

Bought Jaguar F pace brand new , but always comcern about reliability reputation, beacuse i love the car !

I started off with a 2017 F Type base V6. I loved it… But I recently traded it in for a 2017 F Type R AWD… Let me tell you it’s night and day. The V8 is a whole different monster and if you ever get a chance to upgrade I would highly recommend it.

I was a month away from buying one of this as a daily, nothing crazy, just 8k milles a year... But this video makes me rethink about it. My other option is an RS3, more practical, more rational, faster and better handling but far far away in sound and look

I've had an f type for nearly 3 years now. Has been totally reliable no issues. Dont know why they have reputation for unreliability. Got rid of my last BMW 330e after 4 electrical failures and then wouldnt release fuel cap. Had an Audi A5 that required full engine rebuild at 70k miles. German quality is a myth.

This is why I daily a Lexus IS, I have no problems at 240k miles. I still want this car but I'm definitely happy with what I have now

To add another one: Make sure you have a washer tank fluid level sensor for front and rear... Had mine simply stop working for no reason. Around $400 labour and $50-60 for the part

I didn’t even watch the whole video… SO many issues for a fairly new-ish vehicle. Had a test drive set up but cancelled, you just saved me 50k. Thanks good sir 🙏🏽

Surprising number of faults at this mileage. I ran a 5.0 XK from new for 12 years and 74,000 miles and experienced no issues at all aside from routine consumable items. Perhaps the 3.0 litre engine is relatively fragile.

Im looking to get one so please keep making videos.

Great video!

amazing, also in future will get that car, and + F-pace :p

Wow your diff oil was straight up pudding. At least the seals aren't leaking, I had to have my seals replaced twice.

I owned this type Jag for 4 years, drove it to 100,000 miles after 4 years. All I did was change the oil every 3000 miles and drove it easy, not like a maniac. Not one problem.

Great info

Good job bro. Nice ride

Still i would buy it just for it’s sexy rear bumper🔥

Nice FType, just to mention I have a 2011 XJL 5.0 my feul injectors went out at 80k along with some spark plugs cost me $ 3k thru private mechanic to repair dealer wanted $ 4300 but I love my Jag.

Interesting and informative. Not too bad for a high end car with a lot repaired under warranty. And no disrespect intended, but I was itching to do a detailed cleaning of that interior. LOL

V8R 53k in no issues fingers crossed. Regular maintenance and servicing FTW.

The guinea pig at the end 😂

I've had 2 & no issues whatsoever...but I've never won the lottery, so swings & roundabouts, really!

pretty solid car compared to the other euro rivals.

The sub frame... the rust is another thing to look out for (rear sub frame)

Good video but sure are a lot of commenters that know very little about performance cars. First the Jag F-Types are driven nothing like the toyota's or lexus they speak about keeping but driven very hard. Its near impossible to go casual cruising in one if you have the exhaust they do. Second this vehicle is a mutli owner vehicle who previous owners did not service needs based on looking just even at the rear diff especially for a first gen vehicle. Third, it has a tune and changes to it that will push the motor much harder. I have had 911 TT's, 911 air cooled and others and I can say the V8 AWD F-TYPE that have is bullet proof compared to the money I spent on post warranty for the Porsches. The amount spent by this high mileage vehicle does not even pay for the 1 of the 2 spoiler fails I had on the 991TT.

Thank you for the honest review. No surprise, 70k is considered as high milage for an F-type, it is a proof for its unreliability.

Great video mate helped a lot. I have the v6s also. A year ago had to replace 3 of my injectors and after that I had the check engine light because of the cats clogged up but some spirited drive made my check engine go away. Since then I have done 2000 miles and now the check engine light came back. I hope after some spirited drives ot will go away or I will have to go catless. How does the sound change? Is it much louder when the exhaust flaps are open or closed? Thanks!

Good video. Thinking of getting 2019, just because I want to make lots of noice. I’m not a handywomen so I would be screwed. With the price at the dealership for repairs. Do you have any opinions on my take.

The discoloration on the steering wheel is the soft touch material that fades away through time. I do not know why luxury car makers think we want this material when its really crappy. You can remove it all with Acetone and then spray a sealant/ clear coat/ or finisher on top.

every car has its issues but the quesiton is are you looking good in whatever other car youre having issues with

I’d rather have an F Type than a Corvette. Love the styling. Really don’t care about the minor cosmetic stuff,it’s the mechanical issues that run up the cost of owning.

All easy fix I’m gona buy one

Nicely sorted video, well done with great explanations. Kudos. As a guy (who’s name happens to be Sal) who has owned various sports cars since the 1970’s I don’t know that I consider 70K miles to be ‘high mileage’, but perhaps it is accurate given the newer generation of cars are 90+% plastic under the bonnet and accountants win out over engineers. I owned a used (pre-owned for the Millennial / Gen Z crowd) 16’ F-Type base and sold the car after one year. While the design is stunning, I simply was not impressed overall; and yes, I drove the S and R Types prior to purchasing. Regarding the S and especially the R, other than producing a great deal of exhaust noise, I wasn’t moved to purchase power I would never use unless on a track (I’m pragmatic like that). I admit it didn’t help that I elected to purchase an automatic transmission, which in my view is sinful in a sports car, though I’m speaking rather hypocritically here... Beyond the F-Type’s poor fit and finish as well as multitude of wonky parts for the price of entry, in my humble opinion, I have come to feel that today’s (the last 15 years or so) sports cars have become increasingly too sterile, offering no sense of oneness with the car. Get behind the wheel of a 1980’s 911, 93’ RX7, 97’ NSX (re mileage, I purchased mine with 76K miles and in 5 years of ownership and 20K miles, beyond normal maintenance I only replaced a worn tie-rod), 65’ C2 Corvette, a 68’ Jaguar XKE FHC. These examples will give you seat of the pants thrills and enjoyment that simply cannot be matched by today’s sports cars. Once more, this is simply my humble opinion.... no one’s baby is ugly....

I don't think Honda could fix your engine since it's really not damaged, it's really a design problem with direct injection engine so you'll really need to do shorter oil change intervals. Good to see that you could just DIY it.

Was your wearing steering wheel sticky with scratches as well? Very discolored. Iv been trying to find a suede stitch wrap but no one offers them for style flat bottom.

Whats your opinion on a ftype vs an Porsch 981 S or 981c S? Also taking about price stability

The v8 5.0 would have been a more solid engine.I know the AJ 8 v8 5.0 has been the most reliable engine jaguar has ever baked out the factory.That v8 is in Land Rovers too

Tbh, all the problems mentioned for a high performance vehicle is nothing. My XF has the similar coolant leak minor problems once in a while. Engine and gearbox is solid tho. And parts on jaguars is wayyyyy more reasonably priced that some of the German exotics.

Car is fire thou 🔥🔥

and everyone. 70,000 miles is considered high millage. On most European cars you must look at miles sort of like dog years. This is the same for Maserati or Alpha Romeo and the many others European vehicles. These cars are not built by robots for most of the brands mentioned. These cars are not for people trying to drive to work daily putting on 15 to 17 k miles in years. I own a F-Type and Maserati Quattroporte and never have problems with them. My primary car for daily use is a Nissan Murano and don't have any problem with that as well. Just know what you are buying and how to drive it. The issue is when people who can't normally afford these cars get them for cheap and then try to drive them like Nissan, Honda, or Toyota as their daily primary car. (Some people can get away with it though if drive with care and parked indoor in temp controlled environment). Otherwsise, you will pay if you drive these like a Japanese daily car in most cases. I have a friend that has a Nissan GTR and used it for 20k a year primary car and he also paid big time. It is also a performance machines and not made for daily high mile usage. It would be like taking a Nascar to work daily and complaining the car broke down. If you want a semi luxury every day car get a Lexus or Genesis they are great for that.

Beautiful car 😍

Re injectors - known to clog up with poor quality fuel, solution is simply to use quality injector cleaner a every year or so

5:06💩 Nice review. A rollercoaster at that. Im thinking of buying but scrolling down you didnt recommend as daily so im reconsidering it

"Go easy on the burbles" me - CAT DELETE IT IS

Would you still recommend buying one now ? Do you have an updated video ? I see this is two years ago!

Hey brother, do you still have the Jag? Im really considering getting of these next year but worried about reliability. They look so nice 😍

How to you feel about the awd supercharged v8 models?

I had a 2016 F-Type . The rear diff is a common issue. they changed mine complete at 29,000 klms and everyone else that i know with F-Type had the diff changed . too many issues for the few miles i put on it . hood never fits

It’s looks like it been sitting for a while and runned at the same time , if you have the money there’s no problem

any rust issues with the cross members under the car?

get some JB weld for that coolant reservoir leak homie, works miracles too late now but if ever in the future

I always wondered.. can you supercharge this V6? The P300 with a remap only gets to 320hp. Any of guys know how to crank it up more? Thanks!

There is an 8 Year/80K Federal emissions warranty on catalytic converters. Jag will fix them for free.

I just received this last week: Dear Current or Former Owner or Lessee: This letter is to notify you that Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC has decided to offer additional warranty benefits related to the Exhaust System Oxygen (O2) sensors installed in certain vehicles listed below: JAGUAR VEHICLES AFFECTED* MODEL YEAR F-PACE 2017 F-TYPE 2014 - 2017 XE 2017 XF 2013 - 2017 XJ 2013 - 2017 XK 2013 - 2015 *Only vehicles fitted with a GTDi 2.0L, V6 3.0L SC, V8 5.0L, or V8 5.0L SC gasoline engines. This extended warranty program does not apply to Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) registered in California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, or Vermont. The O2 sensors of PZEVs that are registered in these states are covered under an existing warranty of 15 years or 150,000 miles (whichever occurs first). In line with our commitment to customer satisfaction, we are offering these benefits in response to reports of performance issues with exhaust system O2 sensors. What is the Concern? The O2 sensor concerns can be caused by either design or manufacturing variations or by system operating software and can lead to illumination of the check engine light (MIL) and potentially a minor increase in tailpipe emissions. There are no effects to vehicle performance. Vehicle repairs now benefit from enhanced system robustness improvements to component design, manufacturing processes and operating software. How long is the extended warranty? The extended warranty limits are defined in the following table: MODEL PETROL ENGINE VARIANT COVERAGE F-PACE 3.0 L F-TYPE 3.0 L XE 3.0 L XF 3.0 L XJ 3.0 L 15 years / 150,000 mi (whichever occurs first) F-TYPE 5.0 L XE 2.0 L XF 2.0 L, 5.0 L XJ 5.0 L XK 5.0 L 10 years / 120,000 mi (whichever occurs first) What should you do? Should your vehicle's check engine light illuminate, please contact your preferred authorized Jaguar Retailer, provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and make a service appointment to diagnose the concern. Any required repairs/replacements to any O2 sensor or to O2 sensor operating software will be covered at no cost to you for the length of the applicable extended warranty period. Jaguar recommends you keep a copy of this letter in your glovebox with your vehicle literature pack and it be provided to the new owner of your vehicle if it is sold. What if I have previously paid for this concern? If any current or former owner has already paid for this service before the date of this letter, Jaguar is offering a refund. In order to qualify for a refund, please provide your authorized retailer with the original paid receipt. To avoid delays, please do not send the receipt to Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC.

Jag owner here, 2016 XF with the 3.0 and 87,000 km (about 55,000 miles). Only issues I've had are a leaking rad hose, malfunctioning rear camera, and a malfunctioning sunroof sensor. Mechanically the car has been lights out. Always maintained properly at the dealership. Driven spiritedly, and even took it for a track day. Love love love this car. The V6's are reliable. The V8's have their issues which are potentially more serious. Once you start modding tho... Who the heck knows.

That rear differential "fluid" looks like me the day after a night of Taco Bell.

are you sure the diff was wining and the sludge was added to make it quiet before you bought the car

The secret is to not go heavy on the throttle on a cold start.

"Go easy on the burbles a little bit" No way - no how!

Previously poorly maintained car has some issues, who'd have thunk?

When do you change rear diff every what ?

Song’s name, please!! The very first one

Love my F Type!... but has anyone had any issues with random beeping/chiming, like an internal alarm. Happens randomly when I'm parked and sometimes when I'm driving. Please let me know if anyone has a clue what this is.

Damn audis and bmw look like tables if you put them near to this.. Very special car

picking up a 14 base, also supercharged, whats the difference between the s and the base?
