Verdict
Premium SUV rated 5 stars by Euro NCAP (2017), sold with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Caradisiac reports many failures on the first 2.0 D 180 hp engines, sometimes leading to engine destruction: a complete service history is essential, and 2016-2017 models should have been covered by the Takata airbag recall.

Known faults
Timing chain of the 2.0 Ingenium diesel
Severity 3/3 · SeriousThe timing chains of the 2.0 diesel stretch over time; if not replaced, they can cause irreparable engine failure (Stedmans Garage). A metallic noise when cold is the warning sign; LR Direct cites chain wear and a weak tensioner. These sources are workshops and a parts seller.

Takata driver airbag recall (2016-2017 model years)
Manufacturer recallThe Takata driver airbag propellant (ammonium nitrate) can degrade with heat and humidity; on deployment, the housing may rupture and throw metal fragments. The remedy is replacing the driver airbag module. Recall concerning F-Pace 2016-2017 models: check that it has been carried out.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Inspection checklist
Jaguar F-Pace I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- 2.0 diesel: listen for any metallic noise when cold (timing chain) and insist on a complete service history with regular oil changes.
- Diesel: watch for a turbo whistle or a switch to limp mode during the test drive.
- 2016-2017 model: have a Jaguar dealer confirm that the Takata airbag recall has been carried out (serial number).
- Have an electronic diagnostic check done and verify the software updates and manufacturer recalls.
- P400e: ask for the real electric range on battery and the condition of the charging system.
Questions to ask the seller
- What servicing and work has been done on the engine (timing, turbo)? Do you have the invoices?
- Has the driver airbag recall been carried out at Jaguar?
- What is the exact engine (registration document) and has the engine already been replaced?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Insure the car
Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
